Trialkylamines:Speculation
I have been gone from the forum for quite a while,I have a hobby where I collect/synthesize compounds with various smells. So far I have:
Skatole
Benzene
Phenol
Toluene
Sulfur Dichloride
Cinnamaldehyde (Extracted)
Limonene (Extracted)
The next substance on my to-do list is a trialkylamine,triethylamine to be exact,due to its fish-like odor. I would like details on the synthesis of
trialkylamines in general. What I have in mind is either a reaction between ammonia and an alcohol,or nitrogen trichloride and a brominated alcohol (I
would prefer not using that method). Are my speculations correct? Are there any important details that I need to know besides NCl3's
explosion hazard?

My apologies,I was thinking of a Friedel-Crafts reaction. Please disregard what I said previously.

This has been discussed previously on SM and the information is not hard to obtain. There is a PDF that describes the synthesis:
