Procedure
A flask equipped with a thermometer, nitrogen gas inlet tube, reflux condenser, stirrer and dropping funnel was charged with 85 g (1.0 mol) of methylpyrrolidine and 400 g of 2-butanone (hereinafter referred to as MEK) and, while maintaining the temperature at 50° C. under a nitrogen stream, 205.5 g (1.5 mol) of n-butyl bromide was added dropwise over 2 hours and, then, the temperature was maintained at 80° C. for 2 hours to drive the reaction to completion. Then, the reaction mixture was filtered to give N-methyl-N-butylpyrrolidinium bromide (hereinafter referred to as MBPyBr) as slightly yellowish white crystals. These crystals were then washed with MEK twice to give 187 g (yield 90%) of white MBPyBr.
