New unsaturated diquaternary ammonium salts (diquats) were prepared in two ways from ditertiary amines 3 and 1-bromoalkanes or from 1,4-dibromobut-2t-ene and tertiary monoamines.A comparison of their catalytic ability with that of saturated diquats and with that of corresponding monoquats was made.The reaction of n-C8H17Br with NaOAc or KOAc in the two phase system liquid-liquid without an additional solvent is catalyzed more effectively by the unsaturated diquats than by the saturated diquats and the monoquats.Most of the used quats catalyze the ester formation from NaOAc more effectively in the system liquid-liquid, however, the ester formation from KOAc more effectively in the system solid-liquid; KOAc is generally superior to NaOAc in both systems.Consequently, in the phase-transfer catalyzed ester formation from alkali acetate and alkyl halides not only the structure of the quat but also the inorganic cation of the acetate have influence on the rate of conversion.
