Conditions

Temperature: 40 °C

Procedure

4-(5-Isopropoxy-2-methyl-4-nitro-phenyl)-pyridine (Step 3, 217 mg, 0.797 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous THF (9 mL). Iodomethane (0.10 mL, 1.61 mmol, 2 equiv.) was added, and the reaction was stirred at 40° C. in a sealed tube for 2 days. The volatiles were removed under vacuum, generating 4-(5-Isopropoxy-2-methyl-4-nitro-phenyl)-1-methyl-pyridinium iodide as a brown solid: ESMS m/z 287.1 (M+).
