The synthesis and purification of 4-dimethylamino-N-methyl -4-stilbazolium tosylate

摘要

4-dimethylamino-N-methyl-4-stilbazolium tosylate(DAST) was synthesized by the condensation and ion exchange reaction of 4-methyl-N-methyl pyridinium tosylate, 4-N, n-dimethylamino -benzaldehyde and silver p-toluenesulfonate, the reaction procedure was easy with high efficiency. The purity of the product was further improved by successive abstersion and recrystallization. The powder was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectrum, nuclear magnetic resonance and elemental analysis. The results showed that the quality of the powder as crystal raw material was very high, the product could meet the requirements for crystal growth, the procedure of washing the product by chloroform was important to achieve the high quality.
