Triphenylphosphine → HCID 69507028, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(Ethoxymethyl)-1-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-ol (3.00 g, 10.5 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (3.43 g, 13.1 mmol) were slurried in THF (105 mL) and cooled with an ice/water bath. tert-Butyl 4-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (2.64 g, 13.1 mmol) was added followed by the dropwise addition of diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (2.58 mL, 13.1 mmol). The water bath was removed and the mixture was stirred for 72 hours under nitrogen. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by chromatography on a HORIZON HPFC system (silica gel, gradient elution with 1-15% CMA in chloroform) to afford 5.17 g of tert-butyl 4-{[2-(ethoxymethyl)-1-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-yl]oxy}piperidine-1-carboxylate as an off-white crystalline solid.
