A concise synthesis of BILN 2061 was achieved through more efficient installation of P2 4‐quinoline moiety via S N 2 displacement of the β ‐OBs group located on the 4‐hydroxyl proline intermediate, which was prepared from 4‐ α ‐hydroxyl proline analog via Mitsunobu reaction with inversion of stereochemistry. In addition, a short and practical synthesis for P3 unit is also described herein. Final assembly of four fragments for BILN 2061 was achieved with an overall yield of 58% in 4 steps from P1 to 15a . Furthermore several analogs of BILN 2061 ( WX‐1 – WX ‐ 5 ) containing modifications on P3 unit were synthesized successfully using the same synthetic route as described for the parent inhibitor BILN 2061 .
