Reaction Steps

A round bottom flask, equipped with a stir bar, was charged with 3-[4-amino-2-(ethoxymethyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-yl]propyl methanesulfonate (0.24 g, 0.53 mmol) and acetonitrile (10 mL). Morpholine (0.23 g, 2.7 mmol) was added in one portion. The reaction mixture was heated at 75° C. for 18 hours and then cooled to ambient temperature. After concentrating under reduced pressure, the resulting solid was dissolved in dichloromethane (50 mL) and washed with saturated aqueous potassium carbonate (50 mL). The fractions were separated and the organic fraction was concentrated to dryness. The solid was purified by chromatography using a HORIZON HPFC system (silica cartridge, 0-25% CMA/chloroform). The material was further purified by a second chromatography treatment using a HORIZON HPFC system (silica cartridge, 10% methanol/dichloromethane). A final recrystallization from acetonitrile provided 0.1 g of 1-[4-amino-2-(ethoxymethyl)-7-(3-morpholin-4-ylpropyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl]-2-methylpropan-2-ol as a white crystalline solid, mp 132-133° C.
