Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 2-{[2-(ethoxymethyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-yl]oxy}ethylcarbamate (2.9 g, 6.32 mmol) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (25 mL). 32% Peracetic acid in acetic acid (1.99 mL, 9.48 mmol) was added to the solution and the mixture was heated to 50° C. for 2 hours. Another 0.5 mL of the peracetic acid solution (2.37 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred for 1 hour. A solution of sodium metabisulfite in water (1.5 g in 3.0 mL) was added in two portions and the reaction mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. The heat was then removed and the solution was brought to pH≈10 with saturated aqueous sodium carbonate (˜15 mL). The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with ethyl acetate (10 mL) and water (10 mL), and dried under vacuum to afford 2.8 g of tert-butyl 2-{[2-(ethoxymethyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)-5-oxido-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-7-yl]oxy}ethylcarbamate as a white paper-like solid with some water remaining.
