Reaction Steps

N4-(2-Methylpropyl)quinoline-3,4-diamine (U.S. Pat. No. 5,389,640 Example 1, 41 g, 0.190 mol), dichloromethane (550 mL), triethylamine (40 mL, 0.286 mol), and chloroacetyl chloride (16.7 mL, 0.210 mol) were combined and then stirred at ambient temperature over the weekend. The reaction mixture was diluted with 1,2-dichloroethane (75 mL) and then washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (3×400 mL). The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered through a layer of CELITE filter aid, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 52.81 g of 2-chloromethyl-1-(2-methylpropyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline as a brown solid.
