7-Benzyloxy-2-ethoxymethyl-1-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine → 4-amino-2-ethoxymethyl-1-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

7-Benzyloxy-2-ethoxymethyl-1-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine (3.9 g, 9.99 mmol) was mixed with ethanol and added to a Parr flask charged with 10% palladium on carbon (0.390 g) in ethanol. The flask was placed under hydrogen pressure and shaken for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through a layer of CELITE filter aid, and the filter cake was washed with warm DMF. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was recrystallized from methanol to yield 2.4 g of 4-amino-2-ethoxymethyl-1-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-ol as a white solid, mp >250° C.
