4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → HCID 66813869, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid (3.7 g of approximately 77% pure material) was added to a solution of 1-benzyl-7-bromo-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-2-amine (2.91 g, 8.24 mmol), and the reaction was stirred for two hours at room temperature. Concentrated aqueous ammonium hydroxide (50 mL) and p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (3.1 g, 16 mmol) were added, and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The organic layer was separated and washed with water (3×200 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product (1.88 g) was purified by automated flash chromatography (silica cartridge, eluting with aqueous ammonium hydroxide:methanol:dichloromethane in a gradient from 0:0:100 to 0.55:10.45:89) to provide 123 g of 1-benzyl-7-bromo-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-2,4-diamine as a reddish-brown solid.
