Procedure
604 g of dimethyl carbonate, 394 g of trimethylamine and 250 g of water were introduced in a 3,000-milliliter Tefron-lined reactor and heated with stirring. After the temperature in the reactor reached 100° C., the reaction was continued for 6 hours at 100° C. Tetramethylammonium hydrogencarbonate was obtained in a yield of 90.1 mol % (based on trimethylamine).
