Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the general method of Parts C and D of Example 11, 2-(1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)ethanol (0.63 g, 2.9 mmol) and 5-bromo-N-methyl-N-phenylpentanamide (1.3 g, 4.8 mmol) were combined to provide 0.24 g of 5-[2-(5-oxido-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)ethoxy]-N-methyl-N-phenylpentanamide as a colorless oil. The resulting N-oxide product was dissolved in dichloromethane and trichloroacetyl isocyanate (0.11 ml) was added dropwise. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then the solvent was removed under vacuum. The resulting oil was dissolved in methanol and sodium methoxide (0.2 ml, 25% by weight in methanol) was slowly added. The reaction was maintained overnight and then concentrated under vacuum. Purification by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 9:1 ethyl acetate\methanol) provided 24 mg of 5-[2-(4-amino-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)ethoxy]-N-methyl-N-phenylpentanamide as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.94 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.83 (m, 2H), 7.52 (dt, J=7.7,1.3 Hz, 1H), 7.41-7.28 (m, 4H), 7.12 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 2H), 5.55 (broad s, 2H), 4.65 (t, J=5.3 Hz, 2H), 3.85 (t, J=5.3 Hz, 2H), 3.31 (t, J=6.3 Hz, 2H), 3.24 (s, 3H), 2.02 (m, 2H), 1.56 (m, 2H), 1.40 (m, 2H); IR (KBr) 3429, 3104, 2946, 2877, 1646, 1595, 1584, 1532, 1496, 1482, 1398, 1360, 1254, 1121, 749, 705 cm−1; MS (EI) m/e 417.2160 (417.2165 calcd for C24H27N5O2).
