Isopropyl isocyanate → HCID 57515425, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Isopropyl isocyanate (0.15 mL, 1.45 mmol) was added to a solution of 1-{[2-(ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl]methyl}cyclohexanamine (0.50 g, 1.45 mmol) dichloromethane (5 mL) at rt. After 4 h, the reaction was set up on a larger scale with 1-{[2-(ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl]methyl}cyclohexanamine (1.50 g, 4.43 mmol). Both reactions were allowed to stir overnight and additional isopropyl isocyanate (0.5 equivalent) was added to each reaction. After stirring another day, the reactions were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield an oil. The oil was triturated with hexane and N-(1-{[2-(ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl]methyl}cyclohexyl)-N′-isopropylurea was isolated as a white solid (2.23 g, 89%).
