Reaction Steps

3-[4-Amino-1-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)-2-(methoxymethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-yl]propanoic acid (1.25 g, 3.30 mmol), anhydrous pyridine (75 mL) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (892 mg, 6.60 mmol) were combined and the reaction was stirred for 30 minutes. 1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide (1.27 g, 6.60 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 15 minutes. Dimethylamine hydrochloride (540 mg, 6.60 mmol) was added in one portion and the reaction was stirred for an additional 4 hours. The solution was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting oil was dissolved in chloroform (50 mL) and washed with 1% aqueous sodium carbonate (3×25 mL). The combined aqueous washes were extracted with chloroform. The combined organic fractions were purified by chromatography using a HORIZON HPFC system (silica cartridge, eluting with a CMA:chloroform gradient; 0-25% CMA over 1500 mL, followed by 25-30% CMA over 1000 mL) followed by recrystallization from acetonitrile to provide 931 mg of 3-[4-amino-1-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)-2-(methoxymethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-yl]-N,N-dimethylpropanamide as a white solid, mp 142-145° C.
