Reaction Steps

3-[4-Amino-1-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)-2-(methoxymethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-yl]propanenitrile (430 mg, 1.30 mmol) in methanol (75 mL) was heated to 50° C. in an oil bath. Aqueous 10% sodium hydroxide (0.33 mmol) and 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide (516 mg, 4.55 mmol) were added and the reaction was stirred for 18 hours. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting solid was slurried in water (70 mL). The aqueous mixture was washed with chloroform (35 mL), concentrated to a wet solid, slurried in methanol (100 mL) and filtered. The filtrate was absorbed onto silica (1 tbsp) and purified by chromatography using a HORIZON HPFC system (silica cartridge, eluting with CMA:chloroform gradient; 0-20% CMA over 1400 mL, followed by 20-25% CMA over 1200 mL). The material was further purified by chromatography using a HORIZON HPFC system (silica cartridge, eluting with a 0-9% gradient of methanol in dichloromethane) to provide 102 mg of 3-[4-amino-1-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)-2-(methoxymethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-yl]propanamide as a white solid, mp 228-230° C.
