Facile synthesis of (ω-bromoalkyl)trimethylammonium bromides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908086244

Reaction of a 1,ω-dibromoalkane with trimethylamine in THF at room temperature precipitates the corresponding (ω-bromoalkyl)trimethylammonium bromide to cleanly form the mono-substituted product in the absence of the bis-quat salt.
