Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-[[2-(2-naphthalenyloxy)ethyl]oxy]-alpha-oxo-2-thiopheneacetic acid 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl ester (0.4 g) and methyl iodide (0.15 g) in acetone (7 mL) was stirred overnight at room temperature. The resulting yellow crystalline solid was filtered off, washed with acetone and then crystallized from methanol to afford 0.36 g of 2-[[5-[[2-(2naphthalenyloxy)ethyl]oxy]-alpha-oxo-2-thiopheneacetyl]oxy]-N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium iodide, mp 169°-170 ° C.
