The resulting solid triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate is dissolved in 20 ml of dry methylene chloride and treated under nitrogen with 4.36 g (0.040 mole) of 1-methyl-2-pyridone in 15 ml of methylene chloride. The reaction mixture is stirred under nitrogen at room temperature overnight (about 16 hours). The solvent is evaporated at room temperature, in vacuo and the quaternary salt obtained is recrystallized from methanol-ether (1:1) to give 8.0 g (71%) of 2-ethoxy-1-methylpyridinium fluoroborate, m.p. 58°-60° C.
