Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 1 L Morton flask was added diallylmethylamine (74.6 g), 1,6-dibromohexane (77 g), and methanol (100 mL). The mixture was heated to 65° C. for 17 h, and then allowed to cool to room temperature. Diethylether (300 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred for 1 hr. The solid was collected by filtration and resuspended in diethylether (200 mL). The mixture was stirred for 1 hr, and the solid again collected by filtration. The solid was then dried in a vacuum oven at 50° C. for 3 days to yield 136 g of product.
