Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-butyl-1-benzyl-piperidine-4-one (9080 mg) in acetone (40 ml) was slowly added methyl iodide (6303 mg) at room temperature. The solution was stirred at room temperature for three hours. A white solid precipitated and was filtered off. The solid was washed four times with 50 ml of acetone and dried under reduced pressure. The filtrate was evaporated and the residue was stirred with ethyl acetate. The white solid was filtered, washed with ethyl acetate and dried under vacuum. The two solids were combined to yield 1-benzyl-3-butyl-1-methyl-4-oxo-piperidinium iodide as a white powder (11200 mg). MS (ESI): 204.2 (M−1−).
