Methyl iodide → 1,1-Dimethyl-4-oxopiperidin-1-ium iodide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-methyl-4-piperidone (1.0 g) in dichloromethane (5 ml) was slowly added iodomethane (1 ml) at 0° C. and stirred for 30 minutes at ambient temperature. To the reaction mixture was added isopropyl ether (10 ml), and the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration to give 1,1-dimethyl-4-oxopiperidinium iodide (1.416 g).
