1 Source of materials

The initial step involved the nitration of 2,4-dihydroxyquinoline using concentrated nitric acid (HNO3) at 70 °C, resulting in the formation of mononitrated 2,4-dihydroxyquinoline (Compound 1) with a yield of 85 %. Without subsequent purification, Compound 1 underwent chlorination with phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3), yielding a dichloro derivative. This intermediate was then reacted with isobutyl amine in the presence of potassium carbonate (K2CO3) in ethanol, affording 2-chloro-N-isobutyl-3-nitroquinolin-4-amine (Compound 2) in a yield of 40 % over the two steps. Following this, a Bechamp reduction utilizing an iron powder/NH4Cl system successfully produced 2-chloro-N4-isobutylquinoline-3,4-diamine in a yield of 87 %. Finally, treatment with triethyl orthoformate (CH(OEt)3) at 60 °C in a yield of 65 %.

All hydrogen atoms were placed in idealized positions. Their U iso values were set to 1.2U eq of the parent atoms.

3 Comment

The 1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolines represent an important class of N-tricyclic compounds, commonly known as imidazoquinolines. These derivatives have attracted considerable attention due to their diverse biological activities, including antimalarial, anticonvulsant, and cardiovascular effects. 4 , 5 , 6 For example, imiquimod (Aldara) serves as an immune response modifier primarily used in the treatment of anogenital warts. 7 And, 4-chloro-1-isobutyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of various imidazoquinoline derivatives.

The crystal structure of 4-chloro-1-isobutyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline is shown in the above figure. The bond lengths of C1–Cl1, C1=N1, C9=N2, and C10=N3 in the title molecule are 1.744, 1.298, 1.382 and 1.370 Å, respectively, which are similar with its analogs. 8 , 9 The thirteen atoms of C1–C10, N1–N3 are in the same plane. Besides, the distance between two adjacent molecules in parallel arrangement is 3.339 Å, indicating ππ stacking interaction between the aromatic cycles.
