N-methylquinolinium iodide (Compound III) was synthesized according to the description in the aforementioned reference. Specifically, 2.4 mL of quinoline and 4 mL of methyl iodide were added to 42 mL of anhydrous dioxane, which was stirred at 150° C. for one hour. Thereafter, it was filtered and thereby a precipitate was collected and then washed with ether and petroleum ether. This was dried and thus N-methylquinolinium iodide (Compound III) was obtained.
