Procedure:
A mixture of 2,5-Dibromo-thiophene (4.93 g), 2-{5-[4-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-1H-imidazol-2-yl}-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.896 g, prepared according to WO2008021927 A2), and Pd(PPh3)4 (0.118 g) in 2M K2CO3 (3.06 mL)/dimethoxyethane (6.12 mL) was heated at 90° C. for 8 hours. Reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 0 to 100% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give 2-{5-[4-(5-Bromo-thiophen-2-yl)-phenyl]-1H-imidazol-2-yl}-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.955 g): LCMS-ESI+: calc'd for C22H25BrN3O2S: 475.42 (M+H+). Found: 473.8, 475.9 (M+H+). 2-(5-{4-[5-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-thiophen-2-yl]-phenyl}-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester: A mixture of 2-{5-[4-(5-Bromo-thiophen-2-yl)-phenyl]-1H-imidazol-2-yl}-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.4807 g), bis(pinacolato)diboron (0.54 g), Pd(PPh3)4 (0.058) and potassium acetate (0.257 g) in 1,4-dioxane was heated at 90° C. for 16 hours. Reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperatures and diluted with ethyl acetate. Organic layer was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 20 to 80% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give 2-(5-{4-[5-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-thiophen-2-yl]-phenyl}-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.3752 g) as a brown foam: LCMS-ESI+: calc'd for C28H37BN3O4S: 522.48 (M+H+). Found: 521.9 (M+H+). 2-[5-(5-{4-[2-(1-tert-butylcarbamyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]-phenyl}-thiophen-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester: A mixture of 2-(5-{4-[5-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-thiophen-2-yl]-phenyl}-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.1050 g), 2-(4-Bromo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.070 g, prepared according to WO2008021927 A2) and Pd(PPh3)4 (0.012 g) in 2.0M sodium bicarbonate solution (0.33 mL) and dimethoxyethane (0.66 mL) was stirred under microwave irradiation at 120° C. for 20 minutes. Reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 50 to 100% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give 2-[5-(5-{4-[2-(1-tert-butylcarbamyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]-phenyl}-thiophen-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.069 g) as a brown foam: LCMS-ESI+: calc'd for C34H43N6O4S: 631.80 (M+H+). Found: 631.0 (M+H+). [1-(2-{5-[4-(5-{2-[1-(2-Methoxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyryl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-3H-imidazol-4-yl}-thiophen-2-yl)-phenyl]-1H-imidazol-2-yl}-pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-2-methyl-propyl]-carbamic acid methyl ester: 2-[5-(5-{4-[2-(1-tert-butylcarbamyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]-phenyl}-thiophen-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.069 g) in dichloromethane (3.0 mL) was treated with 4N HCl in dioxane (3.0 mL) for 30 minutes at ambient temperature. Reaction mixture was concentrated and dried overnight under vacuum to give a reddish-brown solid (0.084 g). Residue was dissolved in DMF (1.0 mL) and to this solution was added 2-Methoxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyric acid (0.053 g), 4-methylmorpholine (0.083 mL), followed by HATU (0.113 g). Reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at ambient temperature then diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with dilute sodium bicarbonate solution, 5% lithium chloride solution, brine, then dried (MgSO4). Concentration and purification by preparative reverse phase HPLC (Gemini, 5 to 100% ACN/H2O+0.1% TFA) and lyophilization gave [1-(2-{5-[4-(5-{2-[1-(2-Methoxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyryl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-3H-imidazol-4-yl}-thiophen-2-yl)-phenyl]-1H-imidazol-2-yl}-pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-2-methyl-propyl]-carbamic acid methyl ester as the bis-TFA salt (0.040 mg).
