Despite the growing number of papers describing the synthesis of N-quaternary ammonium salts, [1] there are very few reports in the literature concerning bicyclic amines 1-alkyl-1-azoniabicyclo [2.2.2]octane (quinuclidinium) and 1-alkyl-4-aza-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane halides. A number of different methodologies have been reported; [2] most researchers use a simple round-bottomed flask/reflux condenser experimental setup for the quaternization reaction under argon or ...
