Diethyl Ether → HCID 86682761, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-methylpiperidine (˜26.04 g) in dimethylformamide (˜250 mL) was added slowly to a solution of 1,5-dibromopentane (˜226.3 g) in dimethylformamide (˜50 mL) with rapid stirring. Stirring of the solution was continued overnight. The reaction mixture was then poured into diethyl ether (˜1500 mL) producing a yellow oil. The diethyl ether was decanted and the oil poured into a solution of fresh diethyl ether (˜1500 mL) with acetone (˜250 mL) and then stirred overnight. The resulting waxy solid was filtered. After drying the product (˜51.8 g, ˜60%) was confirmed to be 1-(5-bromopentyl)-1-methylpiperidin-1-ium bromide by 1H NMR.
