Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(Diethoxymethyl)pyridine (4.41 g, 24.3 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (90.0 mL). To this, iodomethane (1.82 mL, 29.2 mmol) was added under a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 48 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated, the residue was washed with diisopropyl ether, and thereby 4-(diethoxymethyl)-1-methylpyridinium iodide (7.47 g, yield: 95%) was obtained.
