Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 4-{[4-amino-2-(2-methoxyethyl)-1-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-yl]oxy}piperidine-1-carboxylate (prepared as described in Example 387, 2.11 g, 4.36 mmol) was treated with concentrated hydrochloric acid (3 mL). After vigorous bubbling, a solution formed. The solution was diluted with ethanol (50 mL) and evaporated (3×). The resulting oil was dissolved in brine (15 mL) and water (5 mL) and made basic with 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide (approximately 1.5 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (3×). The organic layers were combined, washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 1.7 g of 2-(2-methoxyethyl)-7-(piperidin-4-yloxy)-1-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-ylamine as a white solid.
