Butyryl chloride → tert-butyl [4-(4-amino-7-bromo-2-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)butyl]carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl [4-(3-amino-7-bromoquinolin-4-ylamino)butyl]carbamate was treated with butyryl chloride and cyclized according to the methods described in Part C and D of Examples 125-135. The resulting product, tert-butyl [4-(7-bromo-2-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)butyl]carbamate was oxidized and aminated according to the methods described in Parts H and I of Example 1 to afford tert-butyl [4-(4-amino-7-bromo-2-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)butyl]carbamate, which was coupled with 3-pyridylboronic acid according to the method described in Part J of Example 1. The reaction was heated at reflux for four hours, and the work-up procedure described in Part F of Examples 125-135 was followed. The crude product was recrystallized from toluene (1 mL/g) to provide tert-butyl {4-[4-amino-2-propyl-7-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl]butyl}carbamate as a tan powder, mp 136-138° C.
