Methanol → Difenzoquat metilsulfate

Participants

Reaction Steps

46.8 g (0.2 mol) of 1-methyl-3,5-diphenylpyrazole, 40 g (1.25 mol) of methanol and 20.4 g (0.2 mol) of 96% strength sulfuric acid are added to the filtrate obtained, and the mixture is processed as described above. After working-up, 69.3 g of 1,2-dimethyl-3,5-diphenylpyrazolium methylsulfate with a content of 97.1% (HPLC) of m.p. 157°-159° C. are obtained, which corresponds to a yield of 93.5% of theory.
