Properties and Usage:
Tetrabutylammonium Hydroxide (TBAH) is a common quaternary ammonium salt and a strong alkaline substance widely used in organic synthesis, catalysis and analytical chemistry. The following is an overview of the properties and applications of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide:
Applications:
1. Organic synthesis:
Phase transfer catalyst: TBAH is widely used as a phase transfer catalyst in two-phase reaction systems. It can promote the reaction of insoluble reactants between the organic phase and the aqueous phase, significantly improving the reaction rate and efficiency.
Alkaline reagent: As a strong alkaline reagent, it is often used in deprotonation reactions (such as the formation of carbon anions) and other reactions requiring strong alkaline conditions in organic synthesis.
2. Catalysis:
Alkaline catalyst: TBAH is used as a catalyst in a variety of organic transformation reactions, such as in some addition reactions, elimination reactions and rearrangement reactions.
3. Analytical chemistry:
Titrant: In analytical chemistry, TBAH can be used as a titrant in acid-base titration, especially in non-aqueous titration.
4. Electrochemical applications:
Electrolyte additives: In some electrochemical applications, TBAH can be used as an additive in the electrolyte to improve the conductivity and stability of the solution.
Storage conditions: Keep the container sealed, stored in a cool, dry place, and ensure that the workplace has good ventilation or exhaust devices
Packing: This product is packed in 25kg , 200kg drums, and it can also be customized according to customers' requirements
