Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(2-(2-Aminoethoxy)-2-methylpropyl)-2-(ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine (32 mg, 89.5 μmol) was combined with DCM (1.0 mL) to give a colorless solution. To this solution was added triethylamine (25.0 μL, 179 μmol) and acetyl chloride (7.00 μL, 98.5 μmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred 18 hours at room temperature. After concentrating the mixture in vacuo the residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel-NH2, 0% to 10% methanol in DCM) to give the title compound (19 mg, 53%) as white foam; LC-MS (UV peak area, ESI) 97%, 400.2348 (MH+).
