Synthesis route: The synthesis methods of choline chloride mainly include ethylene oxide method and chloroethanol method. The ethylene oxide method involves reacting trimethyl-amine with ethylene oxide and then neutralizing it with hydrochloric acid to obtain the product; The chloroethanol method involves using chloroethanol instead of ethylene oxide to react with trimethyl-amine.
