A CuBr-mediated, regioselective cross-coupling between methyl 2,5-diiodobenzoate (4) and [(diethoxyphosphinyl)difluoromethyl]zinc bromide is reported. Palladium-catalyzed incorporation of an amino acid side chain, followed by subsequent modifications resulted in the rapid construction of 2. Compound 2 was designed to engage Cys188 of the Src SH2 domain, however, this was not observed spectroscopically.
