Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-[4-(2-butyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)butoxy]-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (7.65 g, 17.3 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 mL) was treated with mCPBA (4.65 g, 20.7 mmol), and the resulting orange solution was stirred for four hours at room temperature. The solution was then diluted with dichloromethane (100 ml), washed with brine (3×100 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered through a layer of CELITE filter aid, and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 9.92 g of 2-[4-(2-butyl-5-oxido-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)butoxy]-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione as a red semi-solid.
