Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the general method of Parts C and D of Example 11, 2-(1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)ethanol (0.63 g, 2.9 mmol) and 5-bromo-N-methyl-N-phenylpentanamide (1.3 g, 4.8 mmol) were combined to provide 0.24 g of 5-[2-(5-oxido-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)ethoxy]-N-methyl-N-phenylpentanamide as a colorless oil. The resulting N-oxide product was dissolved in dichloromethane and trichloroacetyl isocyanate (0.11 ml) was added dropwise. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then the solvent was removed under vacuum. The resulting oil was dissolved in methanol and sodium methoxide (0.2 ml, 25% by weight in methanol) was slowly added. The reaction was maintained overnight and then concentrated under vacuum. Purification by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 9:1 ethyl acetate\methanol) provided 24 mg of 5-[2-(4-amino-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)ethoxy]-N-methyl-N-phenylpentanamide as a white solid.
