Abstract

New (pyrrolyl)-pyridinium and quinolinium salts have been prepared selectively in high yields by reacting (pyrrolyl)-pyridine or -quinoline and their derivatives with CF3SO3CH3 in CH2Cl2. No methylation of the nitrogen of pyrrole was observed. Preliminary investigations revealed that these salts show a good response as nonlinear optics.
