2,4-Dichlorobenzyl chloride → N,N-Dibutyl-N-[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl]butan-1-aminium chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Eighteen and fifty-four one-hundredths parts of tributylamine and 19.54 parts of 2,4-dichlorobenzyl chloride were placed in a 250 ml. glass stoppered flask. 70.8 parts of diethyl ether was added and the flask tightly stoppered and allowed to react at room temperature. After a considerable time an oil began to form and after 2 to 3 months, the product began to crystallize. At the end of six months, the crystals were filtered, washed with hexane and dried under vacuum. 16.7 parts of tributyl-2,4-dichlorobenzylammonium chloride was obtained, the compound having 3.33% nitrogen, the calculated value for nitrogen (for C19H32Cl3N) is 3.69%.
