Reaction Steps

4-Chloro-2-ethoxy-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline (500 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. overnight. An analysis by LC/MS indicated the presence of starting material, and the reaction was heated at 150° C. for an additional four 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 in a gradient from 0:0:100 to 0.4:7.6:92) to provide 52 mg of 2-ethoxy-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine as a white solid.
