Simple and Efficient Synthesis of N-Quaternary Salts of Quinuclidinium Derivatives

Abstract

The rapid and efficient synthesis of 1-alkylquinuclidinium (1-alkyl-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) and 1-alkyl-4-aza-1-azo­nia­bicyclo[2.2.2]octane iodides are described. The products were characterized by ¹H NMR spectra and elemental analysis.

Key words

amines - alkyl halides - alkylation - ammonium - ionic liquids
