Procedure:
A mixture of 2-[2-(4-Bromo-phenyl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.075 g), bis(pinacolato)diboron (0.102 g), Pd(PPh3)4 (0.011 g) and potassium acetate (0.049 g) in 1,4-dioxane (1.5 mL) was heated at 100° C. for 16 hours. More Pd(PPh3)4 (0.011 g) was added and the reaction was continued for 24 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 purified by preparative reverse phase HPLC (Gemini, 5 to 100% ACN/H2O+0.1% TFA). Product was lyophilized to give 442-(3H-Imidazol-4-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester]-phenylboronic acid (0.027 g) as a white powder: LCMS-ESI+: calc'd for C18H25BN3O4: 357.21 (M+H+). Found: 357.9 (M+H+). 2-(2-{4′-[5-(1-tert-butyl-carbamyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-biphenyl-4-yl}-3H-imidazol-4-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester: A mixture of 4-[2-(3H-Imidazol-4-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester]-phenylboronic acid (0.0098 g), 2-[2-(4-Bromo-phenyl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.0118 g) and Pd(PPh3)4 (0.0012 g) in 2.0M potassium carbonate solution (0.031 mL) and dimethoxyethane (0.8 mL) was heated at 90° C. for 18 hours. PdCl2(dppf) (0.003 g) was added and reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. for 18 hours. Reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), concentrated and purified using preparative reverse phase HPLC (Gemini, 5 to 100% ACN/H2O+0.1% TFA). Product was lyophilized to give 2-(2-{4′-[5-(1-tert-butyl-carbamyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-biphenyl-4-yl}-3H-imidazol-4-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.0018 g) as a white powder: LCMS-ESI+: calc'd for C36H45N6O4: 624.77 (M+H+). Found: 625.0 (M+H+).

Reaction mixture was concentrated and dried under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in DMF (0.4 mL) and to this solution was added 2-methoxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyric acid (0.0008 g), 4-methylmorpholine (0.0024 mL), followed by HATU (0.0016 g). Reaction mixture was stirred for 1.5 hour at ambient temperature, then purified by preparative reverse phase HPLC (Gemini, 5 to 100% ACN/H2O+0.1% TFA). Product was lyophilized to give (1-{2-[2-(4′-{5-[1-(2-Methoxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyryl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-1H-imidazol-2-yl}-biphenyl-4-yl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]-pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl}-2-methyl-propyl)-carbamic acid methyl ester as a mixture of diastereomers of the bis-TFA salt (0.0017 g): 1H-NMR: 300 MHz, (CD3OD) δ: 8.10-7.95 (m, 8H), 7.55-7.40 (m, 2H), 5.25-5.15 (m, 2H), 4.20-3.65 (m, 6H), 3.62 (s, 6H), 2.40-1.90 (m, 10H), 1.05-0.85 (m, 12H); LCMS-ESI−: calc'd for C40H51N8O6: 739.88 (M+H+).
