Product Description

Methyl triethyl ammonium bromide (MTEAB) is a quaternary ammonium salt that is commonly used as a phase transfer catalyst in various chemical reactions. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in polar solvents such as water and ethanol.

MTEAB is a highly effective phase transfer catalyst that can facilitate the transfer of a reactant from one phase to another. It is often used in organic synthesis to promote reactions between compounds that are normally insoluble in each other, such as reactions between a solid and a liquid.

MTEAB can also be used in other chemical reactions, such as oxidation reactions and polymerizations. It can act as a nucleophile in substitution reactions and can help to stabilize certain intermediates in organic reactions.

MTEAB is generally considered to be safe and non-toxic, although it can be irritating to the skin and eyes. Proper safety precautions, such as wearing gloves and goggles, should be taken when handling this compound. It should also be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials.
