Reaction Steps

4-Chloro-2-methyl-1-(2-{[(2E)-3-phenylprop-2-enyl]oxy}ethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline (2.12 g, 5.61 mmol), was combined with an ammonia/methanol solution (7%, 70 mL) in a bomb and heated to 150° C. for 16.5 hours and cooled to ambient temperature. Analysis indicated that the reaction was incomplete. The solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to 10 mL, diluted with ammonia/methanol (7%, 50 mL) and reacted in a bomb at 150° C. for 8.5 hours to complete the reaction. The solution was partitioned between dichloromethane and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and the organic layer removed. The aqueous layer was saturated with sodium chloride and extracted with dichloromethane (3×). The organic fractions were combined, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting brown solid was recrystalized from methanol to provide 0.963 g of 2-methyl-1-(2-{[(2E)-3-phenylprop-2-enyl]oxy}ethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine as a white solid, m.p. 111.8-112.5° C.
