Procedure

135 g (1.09 moles) of propyl bromide and 140 g (0.96 moles) of tripropylamine are heated together with 200 ml of dimethylformamide up to 130° C., in equipment provided with reflux condenser and thermometer, for 6 hours. The end point can be ascertained by the disappearance of the two phases formed from propyl bromide and dimethylformamide/tripropylamine and by the rise in temperature. The resulting solution is cooled and crystals of tetrapropylammonium bromide are precipitated. The crystalline product is filtered and dried.
