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, and then allowed to cool. The contents were 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.
