Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-[(3-amino-4-quinolinyl)amino]-2-methyl-2-propanol (1.0 g, 4.3 mmol), 1,3-dimethoxycarbonyl-O-methylisourea (prepared according to the general method of Viswanathan, N. Indian Patent No. 168,784, 1.64 g, 8.64 mmol), acetic acid (1.3 g, 22 mmol), and p-toluenesulfonic acid (0.82 g, 4.3 mmol) in methanol (20 mL) was heated at reflux for 16 hours. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in chloroform (100 mL). The solution was washed sequentially with water (100 mL), aqueous sodium carbonate (100 mL of 4% w/w), water (100 mL), and brine (100 mL) and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by automated flash chromatography (40+M silica cartridge, eluting with 0% to 25% CMA in chloroform) followed by recrystallization from acetonitrile to provide 0.64 g of methyl [1-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-2-yl]carbamate as a white solid, mp 225° C.
