Participants

Procedure

37.5 g of the brominated product of m-tolylphenyl ether containing 26.3 g of 3-phenoxybenzyl bromide was mixed with 100 ml of toluene, and then a solution of 15.1 g of triethylamine in 30 ml of toluene was added dropwise thereto. After the additon, the mixture was maintained at 90° to 100°C for 1 hour while stirring and then cooled. The separated crystals were filtered out, washed with toluene and then dried under a reduced pressure to obtain 35.8 g of 3-phenoxybenzyl triethyl ammonium bromide (m.p. 160° - 163°C).
