Procedure
A 1-L autoclave equipped with a stirrer and a thermometer was charged with N,N-dimethyl-3-octadecyloxy-propylamine (300 g) obtained in Example 1A, isopropyl alcohol (90 g) and methyl chloride (100 g) to conduct a reaction at 90° C. for 6 hours. Excessive methyl chloride was topped to obtain an isopropyl alcohol solution of N,N,N-trimethyl-3-octadecyloxypropylammonium chloride. The quaternizing rate was 98% (KSTM 20082).
