The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified twice by automated flash chromatography (silica cartridge, eluting with aqueous ammonium hydroxide:methanol:dichloromethane in a gradient from 0:0:100 to 0.2:3.8:96). The chromatographed product was washed with acetonitrile and diethyl ether several times and dried in a vacuum oven to provide 260 mg of 4-amino-1-[(1S)-1-phenylethyl]-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-2-ol as an off-white solid, mp 292-295° C.
