Abstract
The synthesis of N,N-Diethyl-2-(mesitiylamino)-N-benzyl-oxoethanamonium chloride was carried out by N-alkylation with traditional method and using microwave and ultrasonic activation. The synthesized ionіс compound is characterized by IR, NMR 1H and 13C methods, and its growth-stimulating activity has been tested on Zea Mays L. maize seeds. The synthesis of N,N-Diethyl-2-(mesitilamino)-N-benzyl-oxoethanamonium chloride using unconventional methods such as microwave and ultrasonic activation resulted in higher yields in a shorter period of time than traditional method. The highest yield (98%) was achieved by microwave activation of UWAVE-2000 in a very short time, while in the classical caseit was lower and the reaction time was twenty-four times longer. The synthesized ionic compound positively influenced the germination and growth energy of maize seeds. In samples treated with solution N,N-Diethyl-2-(mesitylamino)-N-benzyl-oxoethanaminium chloride of mould lesions was not so many, so, the treatment of maize seeds with trimecaine benzyl chloride not only stimulates the plant growth, but also prevent fungi mould formation.
