Reaction Steps

A solution of benzyl iodide in acetone was prepared from benzyl chloride (823 g.) and sodium iodide (975 g.). 3-Methyl-4-propylpyridine (879 g.) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. Crystallization of the product from acetone-isopropyl acetate afforded 1-benzyl-3-methyl-4-propylpyridinium iodide in two crops (1334 g. and 162 g.), which melted at 94°-95° C.
