Reaction Steps

A suspension of 4-chloro-2-methyl-1-{2-methyl-2-[2-(methylsulfonyl)ethoxy]propyl}-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline (1.80 g, 4.55 mmol) in a solution of ammonia in methanol (7 M, 18 mL) in a high pressure vessel was heated at 150° C. for 14 hours. The vessel was allowed to cool to room temperature. A solid was isolated by filtration, washed with methanol, and purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, eluted with 10% methanol in dichloromethane) to provide a white solid. The solid was stirred in water (100 mL) for 1 hour, isolated by filtration, washed with water, and dried to yield 0.84 g of 2-methyl-1-{2-methyl-2-[2-(methylsulfonyl)ethoxy]propyl}-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine as a white powder, mp 253-255° C.
