Eschenmoser Salt Dimethylaminomethylating Reaction Mechanism | Organic Chemistry

Eschenmoser’s salt, dimethylmethylideneammonium iodide, is a strong dimethylaminomethylating agent, used to prepare derivatives of the type RCH2N(CH3)2. Enolates, enolsilylethers, and even more acidic ketones undergo efficient dimethylaminomethylation. This salt is employed in the Mannich reaction
