Product Description

Tetra butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) is a chemical compound with the formula (C4H9)4NBr. It is a quaternary ammonium salt, which means it is a positively charged ion that contains four butyl (C4H9) groups and a negatively charged bromide ion (Br-).

TBAB is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and many organic solvents. It is commonly used as a phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis reactions. This means that it facilitates the transfer of a reactant from one phase (usually an organic phase) to another phase (usually an aqueous phase) where the reaction can occur.

TBAB can also be used as a surfactant, a corrosion inhibitor, and an antistatic agent. It has applications in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as in the production of dyes, pigments, and other organic chemicals.

TBAB is generally considered safe to handle and use, but it is important to follow proper safety procedures, such as wearing appropriate personal protective equipment and avoiding contact with skin or eyes. Like other quaternary ammonium salts, TBAB is not biodegradable and can have negative environmental impacts if released into the environment.
