A process for preparation of Imiquimod comprising oxidation of 1-Isobutyl-1H-imidazo-[4,5-c]-quinoline (II) afforded 1-Isobutyl-1H- imidazo-[4,5-c]-quinoline-5-N-oxide(III) which is isolated in pure form as its hydrochloride salt (IV) followed by conversion to 4-chloro derivative(V) and conversion to corresponding 4-iodo derivative (VI) which is a novel intermediate. This novel intermediate is converted to imiquimod (VIII) and purified via its organic salt. The invention also relates to crystalline polymorphic forms of Imiquimod Maleate, Fumarate and Oxalate.
