Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere triethylamine (765 mg, 7.56 mmol) was added to a solution of 1-(3-aminopropyl)-2-butyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine (1.5 g, 5.04 mmol) in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (75 mL). A solution of 5-dimethylamino-1-naphthalenesulfonyl chloride (1.5 g, 5.55 mmol) in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone was added. The reaction was monitored by HPLC. The reaction mixture was combined with water (500 mL) and the pH was adjusted to 10 with solid potassium carbonate. The resulting yellow precipitate was isolated by filtration, rinsed with water and then purified by column chromatography (silica gel eluting with 1–5% methanol in chloroform). The purified material was recrystallized from acetonitrile to provide 1.76 g of N-[3-(4-amino-2-butyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)propyl]-5-(dimethylamino)naphthalene-1-sulfonamide as a solid, m.p. 216.5–217.5° C. Analysis: Calculated for C29H34N6O2S: % C, 65.64; % H, 6.46; % N, 15.84. Found: % C, 65.52; % H, 6.44; % N, 15.90.
