Acetic Anhydride → HCID 69507018, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-[4-Amino-2-(ethoxymethyl)-7-(piperidinyloxy)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl]-2-methylpropan-2-ol (from Part A) was slurried in dichloromethane (11 mL). Acetic anhydride (0.105 mL, 1.03 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was purified by chromatography on a HORIZON HPFC system (silica gel, gradient elution with 2-25% CMA in chloroform). The resulting solid was covered with diethyl ether for one week. Filtration of the solid provided 0.130 g of 1-[7-[(1-acetylpiperidinyl)oxy]-4-amino-2-(ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl]-2-methylpropan-2-ol as red-tan crystals, mp 162-164° C.
