Stable quaternary ammonium alkoxides, a new type of organic strong base, were obtained from unhindered tertiary alkanolamines and glycidol. At elevated temperatures, the 2-hydroxyethyl derivatives underwent intramolecular rearrangements and deoxyalkylation to form tertiary amine terminated 1,4-poly(3-hydroxyoxetanes). Demethylation was also observed. The 3-hydroxypropyl derivative underwent disproportionation and Hofmann elimination in addition.
