N-Methylpiperidine → 1,1'-(Hexane-1,6-diyl)bis(1-methylpiperidin-1-ium) dibromide

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-methylpiperidine (˜73.3 g), 1,4-dibromohexane (˜82 g), and dimethylformamide (˜250 mL) were combined and stirred at room temperature for about 24 hours. The solid product was filtered and then washed with diethyl ether (˜750 mL). After drying the product (˜106 g, ˜71%) was confirmed to be 1,1′-(hexane-1,6-diyl)bis(1-methylpiperidin-1-ium)bromide by 1H NMR.
