Reaction Steps

4-(5-Isopropoxy-2-methyl-4-nitro-phenyl)-pyridine (Example 7, Step 1, 217 mg, 0.797 mmol) is dissolved in anhydrous THF (9 mL). Iodomethane (0.10 mL, 1.61 mmol, 2 equiv.) is added and the reaction is stirred at 40° C. in a sealed tube for 2 days. The volatiles are removed under vacuum generating 4-(5-Isopropoxy-2-methyl-4-nitro-phenyl)-1-methyl-pyridinium iodide as a brown solid: ESMS m/z 287.1 (M+).
