Reaction of butyl bromide with trimethylamine CH33N yields a crystalline compound CH33NCH2CH2CH2CH3Br in high yield. This compound is soluble in polar solvents, such as water, but insoluble in nonpolar ones, such as diethyl ether. It does not melt below about 200°C. Draw a reasonable structure for this product.
