Methyl iodide → N,N,N-Trimethyl-4-phenylbutan-1-aminium iodide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 287 mg of N,N-dimethyl-4-phenylbutylamine in 3 ml of absolute methanol, 505 μl of methyl iodide was added at a room temperature with stirring, and the mixture was stirred at a room temperature for 6.5 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under a reduced pressure, and after adding ethyl acetate allowed to stand for formation of crystal. The crystal was filtered, washed with ethyl acetate, and dried under a reduced pressure to obtain 439 mg of the title compound as a colorless crystal.
