A mixture of 4.0 g (0.016 mole) of 4-chloro-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline (from Example 118) and 30 ml of 10% ammonia in methanol was heated in a steel bomb for 12 hours at 150° C. The resulting solid was separated from the cooled mixture by filtration, and was washed sequentially with water and methanol. The air-dried solid was recrystallized from N,N-dimethylformamide to provide white solid 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]-quinolin-4-amine, m.p. 260°-262° C. Analysis: Calculated for C12H12N4O: % C, 63.1; % H, 5.3; % N, 24.5; Found: % C, 63.0; % H, 5.2; % N, 24.3.
