Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[5-(7-bromo-9,10-dihydro-phenanthren-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (187 mg, 0.38 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) was added 4.0 M solution of HCl in dioxane (2 mL, excess). The mixture was stirred for 3 hours at 50° C. and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was treated with ether to remove excess HCl. The obtained white solid was dissolved in DMF (5 mL), to the solution was added 2-methoxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyric acid (70 mg, 0.40 mmol), HATU (173 mg, 0.46 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.66 mL, 3.8 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient for 2 hours, and then the volatile component was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (100 mL), washed with 1 N NaOH solution, water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The obtained residue was purified by flash chromatography to provide the desired product (1-{2-[5-(7-bromo-9,10-dihydro-phenanthren-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl}-2-methyl-propyl)-carbamic acid methyl ester as an oil (200 mg, 95%). m/z 551.2, 553.2 (M+H)+.
