Procedure
Carnitine chloride (2.97 g; 0.01 moles) was dissolved in trifluoro acetic acid (10 cc). To this solution was added cyclohexyl acetyl chloride (0.01 moles) prepared as previously disclosed and the resulting mixture was kept under stirring for 48 hours. Ethyl ether was then added and the resulting mixture was kept under stirring for 0.5 hours at 0° C. A precipitate was obtained, which was filtered off and dried under vacuum.
