Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N,N'-(1,6-hexylene)-bis[N-methyl-2-hydroxyheptylamine] (5 g.), benzyl bromide (4.7 g.) and hexane (60 ml.) was heated under reflux (for 5 hr.). Acetonitrile (20 ml.) was added and refluxing was continued (for 5 hr.). The solvents were stripped and the residue was recrystallized from ethylene dichloride, affording N,N'-(1,6-hexylene)-bis[N-benzyl-N-methyl-2-hydroxyheptylammonium]dibromide (V: R = CH3 (CH2)4, R' = CH3, R" = C6H5CH2, X = (CH2)6, Y = Br) (3.5 g., m.p. 127.0 °-129.0° C.)
