Reaction Steps

4-Chloro-2-methoxy-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline (700 mg) was added to a high-pressure vessel with ammonia (40 mL of a 7 N solution in methanol), and the vessel was sealed and heated at 150° C. for 24 hours, allowed to cool, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified twice by automated flash chromatography (silica cartridge, eluting with aqueous ammonium hydroxide:methanol:dichloromethane first in a gradient from 0:0:100 to 0.3:4.7:95 and secondly in a gradient from 0:0:100 to 0.2:3.8:96) to provide 20 mg of 2-methoxy-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine as a white solid. The compound was further purified by prep HPLC according to the method described in Examples 8-55. The observed accurate mass (M+H) for the isolated trifluoroacetate salt was 215.0931.
