Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Chlorobenzylamine (2.0 g, 14 mmol) was added dropwise to a suspension of 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate (5.1 g, 13 mmol) in dichloromethane (40 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 h. Ethanol (4 mL) and excess diethyl ether were added to precipitate the product. The precipitate was filtered and dried. This provided 6.14 g (92%) of N-(2-chlorobenzyl)-2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate.
