Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4.0 g (0.0117 mole) of 1-(2,3-diacetoxypropyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-5-oxide (from Example 124, Part B) in 50 ml of methanol was added about 12 drops of 25% sodium methoxide solution. After one hour the product was collected by filtration, washed with methanol and recrystallized from ethanol to provide 1-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-5-oxide, m.p. 240°-242° C. Analysis: Calculated for C13H13N3O3 : %C, 60.2; %H, 5.1; %N, 16.2; Found: %C, 60.0; %H, 5.0; %N, 15.8.
