Multigram quantities of arsenobetaine bromide and arsenocholine iodide
were synthesized from trimethylarsine using uncomplicated techniques.
Arsenobetaine bromide and arsenocholine iodide are both non-hygroscop
ic. Arsenocholine iodide is, however, light-sensitive and should be us
ed with actinic glassware. Both compounds were characterized by elemen
tal and spectroscopic techniques and found to be suitable for use as p
rimary analytical standards. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
