I am looking for any procedure or suggestion on an intramolecular cyclization of a tertiary amine and an aldehyde. The product should be the resulting hemi-aminal. What condition should I use? Do I need to use any Lewis acid (mono dentate) or H+ catalyst? Another confusion I have is, where should the counter anion for the quaternary ammonium come from? Can anyone suggest me? Thanks in advance.
