Potassium tert-butoxide → HCID 66958543, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium tert-butoxide (116.1 mL of a 1M solution in tetrahydrofuran) was added to a solution of tert-butyl 2-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-3-[2-(chloromethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl]propylcarbamate (42.72 g, 84.57 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF) (50 mL), and the reaction was stirred overnight at ambient temperature and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluting with dichloromethane:methanol in a gradient from 99:1 to 95:5) to provide 20.23 g of tert-butyl 11-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-11,12-dihydro-8H-[1,4]diazepino[1′,2′:1,2]imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline-9(10H)-carboxylate.
