m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 21936588, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl 2-[2-(2-methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)ethoxy]ethylcarbamate (10.75 g, 29.0 mmol) in 150 mL of CHCl3 was chilled in an ice water bath. The solution was treated with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA, 70%, 10.73 g, 43.5 mmol). After stirring for 1.5 h, the reaction mixture was washed with 1% Na2CO3 (3×) solution and the layers were separated. The organic portion was washed with H2O and brine then dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give a sticky brown solid. The solid was triturated with ether to yield 11.21 g of tert-butyl 2-[2-(2-methyl-5-oxido-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)ethoxy]ethylcarbamate as a light tan solid.
