Reaction Steps

About 60 parts trimethylamine and 125 parts 1,4-dichlorobutene-2 are mixed with 700 parts acetone in a stainless steel pressure reactor. The mixture is allowed to react for 5 hours at a temperature of about 75°C. to about 80°C. Next, 60 parts water are added to the cooled reaction mixture. This mixture yields about 96% 4-chloro-2-butenyltrimethylammonium chloride.
