Reaction Steps

7-(2-Hexyl)-2,2-dimethyl-4-(4-pyridyl) chroman-5-ol (5.45 g, 0.016 mole) and 2-phenylethyl bromide (3.70 g, 0.020 mole) were dissolved in acetone (120 ml) and the solution was refluxed for 4 days. The solution was then allowed to cool and the resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with acetone and dried to yield 1-(2-phenylethyl)-4-[7-(2-hexyl)-2,2-dimethyl-5-hydroxychroman-4-yl] pyridinium bromide (7.22 g, 88%) as colourless microcrystals, m.p. 232°-235°C.
