Lithium N-methylmethanaminide → HCID 87490914, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.50 g (4.89 mmol) of bis(dimethylamino)chlorocarbenium tosylate and 0.25 g (4.90 mmol) of lithium dimethylamide are dissolved in 15 ml of acetonitrile under a protective-gas atmosphere (argon). The reaction mixture is stirred for 5 hours at room temperature, and LiCl is subsequently filtered off. The salt LiCl is washed with 5 ml of acetonitrile, and the organic phases are combined. The solvent is distilled off, and the residue is dried under reduced pressure at 7 Pa and 50° C., giving 1.49 g of hexamethylguanidinium tosylate, corresponding to a yield of 96.6%.
