Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate (2.97 g, 7.5 mmol) in ethanol (15 mL) was treated with 4-methylbenzylamine (1 g, 8.25 mmol). The reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature and diluted with diethyl ether to precipitate the product. The product was recrystallized from ethanol/diethyl ether to give 3.15 g of N-(4-methylbenzyl)-2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate as a tan solid.
