Isopropyl isocyanate → N-{2-[4-amino-2-ethoxymethyl-7-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl]ethyl}-N'-(1-methylethyl)urea

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(2-aminoethyl)-2-ethoxymethyl-7-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine (2.50 g, 6.90 mmol) in chloroform (50 mL) was treated with isopropyl isocyanate (0.65 mL, 6.9 mmol) according to the method described in Examples 377-379. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluting with 94:6 chloroform:methanol) followed by trituration with acetonitrile (15 mL/g) at 95° C. The mixture was cooled in an ice bath, isolated by filtration, and dried for one hour in a vacuum oven at 100° C. to provide 0.88 g of N-{2-[4-amino-2-ethoxymethyl-7-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl]ethyl}-N′-(1-methylethyl)urea as a white solid, mp 194-196° C.
