Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 23.5 g (0.104 mole) of 1-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline in 200 mL of chloroform was added 23.4 g (0.115 mole) of meta-chloroperbenzoic acid. The mixture was stirred at about 20° C. for 24 hours. The solution was basified with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, then dried over magnesium sulfate. Filtration of the mixture, followed by evaporation in vacuo provided a cream colored solid. The solid residue was slurred in dilute ammonium hydroxide, then filtered, washed with water and dried, to provide white solid 1-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline-5-oxide.
