Participants

Reaction Steps

Triphenylmethylamine (1.00 g, 3.86 mmol) (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and iodoethane (1.50 g, 9.62 mmol) (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) were dissolved in acetonitrile (5 mL) (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and the mixture was left to stand still at room temperature for 3 days. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (chloroform (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) as an eluent), to thereby obtain the title compound (0.31 g, 28% yield).
