Reaction Steps

Cyanogen bromide (0.945 g, 8.93 mmol) was added to a solution of N-{2-[(3-amino-2-chloroquinolin-4-yl)amino]-1,1-dimethylethyl}methanesulfonamide (2.55 g, 7.44 mmol) in ethanol (25 mL), and the solution was stirred at ambient temperature for two hours. An analysis by HPLC indicated that no reaction had taken place, and the reaction was then heated overnight at 90° C. and allowed to cool to ambient temperature. Water was added; a precipitate was present and was isolated by filtration and washed with diethyl ether to provide 510 mg of N-[2-(2-amino-4-chloro-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)-1,1-dimethylethyl]methanesulfonamide hydrobromide as a brown solid. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in methanol. Diethyl ether was added, and a gummy precipitate formed, which was dissolved again in methanol and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide an additional 1.1 g of the product as a dark brown solid.
