Reaction Steps

7-(3-Aminopropyl)-2-ethyl-1-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylmethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine (500 mg, 1.4 mmol), triethylamine (410 mg, 4.1 mmol), and acetic anhydride (153 mg, 1.5 mmol) were combined in dichloromethane (50 mL) at 0° C. and the reaction was stirred for approximately 18 hours. Aqueous sodium carbonate (1%, 50 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for one additional hour. The fractions were separated and the aqueous fraction was extracted with chloroform (3×20 mL). The combined organic fractions were sequentially dried (MgSO4), filtered and purified by chromatography using a HORIZON HPFC system (silica cartridge, eluting with a CMA:chloroform gradient, 0-15% CMA over 2000 mL followed by 15-20% CMA over 500 mL). The desired product was further purified by chromatography using a HORIZON HPFC system (silica cartridge, eluting with a 0-8% gradient of methanol in dichloromethane). A final recrystallization from acetonitrile provided 142 mg of N-{3-[4-amino-2-ethyl-1-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylmethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-yl]propyl}acetamide as a white solid, mp 209-211° C.
