m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → 2-ethyl-1-(2-methylpropyl)-7-(2-morpholin-4-yl-2-oxoethoxy)-5-oxido-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Over a period of 30 minutes, mCPBA (1.85 g, 5.47 mmol, 50% pure) was added in four portions to a solution of 2-ethyl-1-(2-methylpropyl)-7-(2-morpholin-4-yl-2-oxoethoxy)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline (2.13 g, 5.47 mmol) in chloroform (200 mL). The reaction was stirred overnight at ambient temperature, washed twice with 1% aqueous sodium carbonate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluting with 95:5 dichloromethane:methanol) to provide 0.53 g of 2-ethyl-1-(2-methylpropyl)-7-(2-morpholin-4-yl-2-oxoethoxy)-5-oxido-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline.
