Triethylamine → 2-ethoxymethyl-1-{[1-(methanesulfonyl)piperidin-2-yl]methyl}-7-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-ethoxymethyl-1-(piperidin-2-ylmethyl)-7-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine trihydrochloride (0.60 g, 1.1 mmol) and triethylamine (0.79 mL, 5.7 mmol) in chloroform (50 mL) was cooled to 4° C. Methanesulfonyl chloride (0.12 mL, 1.5 mmol) was added, and the reaction was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stirred overnight. Additional methanesulfonyl chloride (2.5 equivalents) was added at 4° C. over the course of several days. The work-up procedure described in Examples 178 to 181 was carried out. The crude product was purified by HPFC (eluting with chloroform:CMA in a gradient from about 100:0 to 70:30) followed by recrystallization from acetonitrile to provide 0.19 g of 2-ethoxymethyl-1-{[1-(methanesulfonyl)piperidin-2-yl]methyl}-7-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine as a white solid, mp 152–154° C.
