Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]pyridin-3-ol (207 g, 1.37 mol) in acetone (2000 mL) was added dropwise iodomethane (778 g, 5.48 mol) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hr. The resulting crystals were collected by filtration to give the title compound (369 g, yield 92%).
