Reaction Steps

A one-liter, 3-necked, round-bottomed flask equipped with air condensers and a magnetic stirring plate was charged with N,N-dioctylmethylamine (202.48 grams, 0.79 moles), 1-bromo-3-chloropropane (124.8 grams, 0.79 moles) and methanol (250 mL). Reaction was maintained at 65° C. for two days. Methanol was removed by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure to yield an oil. To the oil was added ethylmethylketone (50 mL) and hexane (200 mL) causing a white solid to slowly form. The solvent was decanted from the mixture. The remaining solid was washed with hexane (50 mL) two times. The solid was placed in a vacuum oven at 35° C. for 24 hours. Yield 259 grams of a waxy solid (0.625 moles, 79%).
