Procedure

To a solution of 4-picoline (9.3 g, 0.1 mol) in toluene (200 mL), benzyl bromide (34.2 g, 0.2 mol) was added dropwise at room temperature. After the addition, the mixture was heated to reflux for 5 hrs. The mixture was cooled to room temperature. The precipitate formed was collected by filtration, washed with toluene and dried under vacuum to give Compound 1 as white solid (21.4 g, 81%). It was used without further purification. The structure of Compound 1 is given below:
