m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → tert-butyl 2-{2-[2-(2-methoxyethyl)-5-oxido-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl]ethoxy}ethyl(methyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl 2-{2-[2-(2-methoxyethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl]ethoxy}ethyl(methyl)carbamate (7.20 g, 16.8 mmol) in 200 mL of CH2Cl2 was treated with MCPBA (77%, 4.32 g, 19.3 mmol). After stirring 6 h, the reaction mixture was treated with saturated NaHCO3 solution and the layers were separated. The organic portion was washed with H2O and brine then dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give 7.05 g of tert-butyl 2-{2-[2-(2-methoxyethyl)-5-oxido-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl]ethoxy}ethyl(methyl)carbamate as a light brown solid.
