Reaction Steps

To a stirred and cooled (water bath) solution of N,N-dimethyl t-octylamine (5 g, 31.8 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 mL) was added methyl iodide (6.7 g, 47.7 mmol) drop-wise. A slight increase in temperature was observed along with the formation light yellow precipitate. Stirring was continued for 24 h at room temperature, and at the end of this period, the solvent and excess methyl iodide were evaporated to produce a light yellow powder. This solid was washed with excess of n-pentane (3×75 mL), filtered, and suction dried (9.0 g, 95%). mp: ca. 260° C. (by DSC). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ3.33 (s, 9H, —N+(CH3)3), 1.82 (s, 2H, —CH2—), 1.61 (bt, 6H, —C(CH3)2—), 1.12 (s, 9H, —C(CH3)3) ppm.
