Reaction Steps

Dropwise addition takes place of 1.5 g (7.5 mmole) of 65% hydroiodic acid to a 1.35 g (7.5 mmole) solution of acridine in 20 ml of ethanol. Towards the end of the addition an orange precipitate appears. Ethanol is then added accompanied by heating to 50 to 60° C. until the said precipitate has completely dissolved (approximately 20 ml of ethanol). Cooling takes place in the refrigerator and the acridinium iodide is filtered. In this way 2.2 g of a redorange monocrystalline solid are recovered corresponding to a 96% yield.
