Ethyl orthoformate → HCID 12016825, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethyl orthoformate (11.3 g, 73.4 mmol) was added to a solution of tert-butyl N-[2-(3-aminoquinolin-4-yl)aminoethyl]carbamate (21 g, 69.4 mmol) in anhydrous toluene (250 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 5 hours and then allowed to slowly cool to ambient temperature. The resulting precipitate was isolated by filtration and dried to provide 17.6 g of tert-butyl N-[2-(1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl)ethyl]carbamate as a light tan solid, m.p. 154-155° C.
