Monoquaternary salt derivatives of benzo[b]-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octene react with piperidine and sodium methoxide or 4-tert-butylthiophenoxide to give primarily N,N-disubstituted tetrahydroquinoxalines. Rate constants have been measured for these bimolecular reactions. Based on their levels of reactivity, these quaternary salts behave as typical alkylating agents.
