Condensation of the phenoxymethyl halide and tertiary amine may be readily eiiected by mixing the reactants at room temperature either alone or in the presence of a suitable solvent or diluent. An
exothermic reaction takes place within a short time. After the initial reaction is over the mixture is heated to 80-100 C. for a short time and the quaternary salt isolated by filtration, crystallisation, extraction, evaporation or any other suitable method. Equimolecular proportions of the reactants are. generally used but an excess of the tertiary amine may be used if desired. The reaction solvent may be one in which the quaternary halide is soluble such as water, ethyl alcohol or chloroform or one in which the quaternary halide is insoluble such as benzene or ether. The quaternary salts may be crystallised from a mixture of ethyl acetate and chloroform.
The invention is illustrated by the following non-limitative example:
0.51 g. 3:S-dimethyl-4-chloro-phenoxymethyl chloride and 0.40 g. dimethyl-n-octylamine are mixed with 1 cc.
benzene. The temperature rises to 35 C. and a white solid separates. After 15 'minutes the mixture is heated on the steam-bath for 5 minutes under reflux. The solid is filtered off, washed with benzene and recrystallised from a mixture of chloroform and ethyl acetate, giving 0.65 g.
