Procedure

Dry hydrogen chloride gas was passed into a mixture of 2-methyl-2-pentene (20 g, 237 mmol) and iso-amyl nitrite (55.67 g, 475 mmol) cooled to -20° C. The reaction mixture was left to stir at 0° C. overnight and the precipitated material was then filtered off and washed with cold (-20° C.) ethanol (3×5 ml). The product was dried in a stream of air and was used without further purification, (13 g, 36%).
