Mostly, Synthesis of methyl amonium iodide is done through mixing of methyl amine and hydroiodic acid precursors followed by evaporation of the solvents through rotary evaporator in the literature.However, if rotary evaporator is not available, what alternatives can be used to evaporate solvents?
Kindly, suggest alternatives for evaporation of solvents. Thank you!

Maybe you can try to do the reaction in DMF, then precipitate out the product with excess ethyl ether. (drop the DMF solution into ethyl ether).
Thank you for your answer, Guobing!
Sorry i missed to add composition of methyl amine solution. Actually, Methyl amine precursor solution contains 37% wt. absolute ethanol. At what stage should i drop DMF into the precursor solution?
Kindly, consider these conditions.
If you have 37% aqueous ethanol solution of methyl amine, ethyl ether precipitation is not good! Sorry!
