Chemical synthesis procedure and methods for T785 small molecule
T785 was prepared via an eight step synthesis starting from commercially available starting materials. Commercially available 3-nitroquinoline-2,4-diol undergoes nitration and chlorination followed by a regioselective addition of tert-butyl N-(4-aminobutyl)carbamate. Aniline formation via hydrogenation and subsequent acylation undergoes imidazoquinoline ring formation under acidic conditions. Finally, displacement of the chloroquinoline by (2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methanamine and acidic deptrotection yields T785 in ~36% overall yield.

3-nitroquinoline-2,4-diol (1). To a solution of quinoline-2,4-diol (260 g, 1.61 mol, 1 eq) in AcOH (1.2 L) is added fuming nitric acid (152.49 g, 2.42 mol, 108.92 mL, 1.5 eq) dropwise at 0°C. The mixture is stirred at 65°C for 5 hours. The mixture is cooled to 25°C and quenched by the addition of ice-water (500 mL). The product is separated by filtration and washed with water (500 mL x 3), and dried to give 3-nitroquinoline-2,4-diol (320 g, 1.52 mol, 94.29% yield) as yellow solid. The crude product was used in the next step without further purification. LC/MS: m/z = 207.0 [M+H]+ 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz) δ 11.96 (s, 1H), 8.04 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.64 (t, J = 7.2 Hz,1H), 7.34 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.27 (t, J = 7.2 Hz, 1H).
2,4-dichloro-3-nitroquinoline (2). 3-nitroquinoline-2,4-diol (365 g, 1.77 mol, 1 eq) is added slowly to POCl3 (2.44 kg, 15.93 mol, 1.48 L, 9 eq) at 65°C and further heated to 90°C for 12 h. The mixture is concentrated under vacuum. The residue is then poured into ice-water (3 L) and stirred for an additional 0.5 h. The aqueous phase is filtered, washed by water (500 mL x 5) and the filter cake is collected and further purified by silica gel chromatography (Petroleum ether/Ethyl acetate=20/1, 3/1) to obtain 2,4-dichloro-3-nitro-quinoline (330 g, 1.32 mol, 74.39% yield, 97% purity) as yellow solid.
