Procedure
Methyl iodide (1 ml, 15 mmol) was added to a solution of 3-(3-hexylthio-1,2,5-thiadiazol-4-yl)-6-methylpyridine (4 mmol) in acetone (5 ml) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 h. Evaporation of the reaction mixture gave the crude product, which was used without further purification.
