Reaction Steps

Part B of the general methods described for Examples 35-40 was followed using 2.00 g of 1-(2-methylpropyl)-2-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-ol to provide 2.33 g of 1-(2-methylpropyl)-7-(4-nitrophenoxy)-2-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline as a yellow solid. Parts C and D of the general methods described for Examples 35-40 were replaced by the following procedure. mCPBA (0.853 g, 2.97 mmol) was added in one portion to a solution of 1-(2-methylpropyl)-7-(4-nitrophenoxy)-2-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline (1.00 g, 2.47 mmol) in chloroform (17 mL), and the reaction was stirred for 30 minutes Ammonium hydroxide (17 mL) was then added, followed by p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (0.710 g, 3.70 mmol). The reaction was stirred for 16 hours and then diluted with dichloromethane. The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic solutions were washed sequentially with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide a brown solid. The solid was recrystallized from acetonitrile to provide 0.680 g of 1-(2-methylpropyl)-7-(4-nitrophenoxy)-2-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine as a reddish-brown, crystalline solid, mp 209-211° C.
