Procedure
40.4 g (236 mmol) of benzyl bromide was added dropwise over 15 minutes to 29.5 g (236 mmol) of 3-quinuclidinone in 120 ml of acetonitrile and the suspension formed was filtered through a frit after 2 hours at 25° C. Washing with n-hexane (2×50 ml) and drying gave 65.3 g (93 percent) of 1-benzyl-3-oxoquinuclidinium bromide in the form of a white crystalline solid. Other data concerning the product was: ##EQU4##
