Summary.

 A series of 1-alkyl-4-dialkylaminopyridinium halides derived from 4-dimethylamino- and 4-morpholinopyridines were synthesized and tested as phase-transfer catalysts in three typical reactions of dichlorocarbene: dehydration of benzamide, N-formylation of diphenylamine, and dichlorocyclopropanation of styrene. The catalytic performance of the above compounds was found comparable or higher than that of conventional quaternary ammonium catalysts. The influence of catalyst structure on the reactivity was evaluated.
