Abstract

Formocholine chloride,(CH&NCH2OH+ Cl-, is interesting as a quaternary ammonium compound since a hydrogen attached to an atom in the P position to the nitrogen should be to some extent ionized. According to the theory'of quaternary ammonium decompositions such an ionization should result in the reaction
