Participants

Reaction Steps

N,N,3-trimethyl-4-(pyridine-4-yl)aniline (0.2 g, 0.9 mmols) was dissolved in acetonitrile (50 ml) and methyl iodide (3 ml) was added. The mixture was heated at reflux with stirring for 2 hrs cooled and evaporated to a volume of 10 ml. Then diethyl ether (50 ml) was added and the product crystallized resulting in (0.068 g, 0.19 mmols) of 4-(4-(dimethylamino)-2-methylphenyl)-1-methylpyridinium iodide as a red solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 2.40 (s, 3H), 3.00 (s, 6H), 4.30 (s, 3H), 6.70 (m, 2H), 6.90 (d, 2H), 8.10 (d, 2H), 8.85 (d, 2H).
