Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-{[(3-aminoquinolin-4-yl)amino]methyl}cyclopentanol (approximately 28.8 mmol, prepared as described above) in dichloromethane (200 mL) at 0° C. was added triethylamine (4.41 mL, 31.6 mmol) and ethoxyacetyl chloride (88%, 3.96 g, 30.2 mmol). After 3 h at rt, the solution was concentrated and ethanol (260 mL) and triethylamine (14 mL) were added. The resulting solution was heated at reflux for 18 h and then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was washed with brine twice and dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to an oil that formed a white solid when acetonitrile was added. The mixture was sonicated briefly and filtered. The white powder was dried under vacuum to provide pure 1-{[2-(ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl]methyl}cyclopentanol (4.55 g, 49% for three steps).
