Participants

Reaction Steps

Two hundred (200) g of 2-[(2,6-xyloxy)methyl]-pyridine are mixed with 300 g of dimethylsulphate whereupon 500 g of water are added at 100° C. during 3 hours. The excess of dimethylsulfate is removed by extraction using ether. The remaining solution is purified using active carbon and the resultant solution filtered. N-methyl-2-[(2,6-xyloxy)methyl]pyridine methylsulfate is isolated as a salt by evaporation of the water in vacuo.
