Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3.14 g (20 mmol) DMAEMA was dissolved in 30 ml acetonitrile and 1.7 ml (2.203 g, 20 mmol) methyl methanesulfonate was added. The mixture was heated to 90° C. (reflux) with stirring for 24 h. At the end of the reaction period the mixture becomes viscous, indicating probably some polymerization of the methacrylate. The mixture was poured into 400 ml ether, and the precipitate was filtered and washed with ether, then dried in vacuo. The obtained salt is very hygroscopic. It contains a small amount of polymer, so this synthesis will be done again in the presence of inhibitor of polymerization, which can be removed after the reaction. Yield: 3.50 g (65%)
