Reaction Steps

3-[4-Amino-2-ethyl-1-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylmethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-yl]propanenitrile (590 mg, 1.6 mmol), 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide (132 mg, 0.33 mmol), and 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide (516 mg, 4.55 mmol) were combined in methanol (75 mL) and the reaction was heated at 50° C. for 18 hours. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and then partitioned between chloroform (75 mL) and water (75 mL). The fractions were separated and the aqueous fraction was extracted with chloroform (3×25 mL). The combined organic fractions were sequentially dried (MgSO4), filtered, concentrated to dryness and purified by chromatography using a HORIZON HPFC system (silica cartridge, eluting with 2 L of 10% methanol in dichloromethane). A final recrystallization from acetonitrile provided 35 mg of 3-[4-amino-2-ethyl-1-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylmethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-yl]propanamide as an off-white solid, mp 197-199° C.
