Tetra Butyl Ammonium Tribromide

Product Description

Four butyl groups, one nitrogen atom, and three bromide anions make up the quaternary ammonium salt known as tetrabutylammonium tribromide (TBATB). TBABr3 is a common abbreviation for it.

In order to add bromine to a molecule, TBATB is frequently employed as a brominating reagent in chemical synthesis. It can also be employed as a phase transfer catalyst, enabling the transition of a reactant between different phases (such as solid and liquid).

TBATB can be utilised in organic synthesis processes as well as as a reducing agent and a catalyst in polymerization processes.

Although TBATB is typically regarded as a safe and reliable reagent and catalyst, it should nonetheless be handled carefully because it can be dangerous if consumed or inhaled in high amounts. When working with TBATB, proper ventilation, protective gear, and safe handling techniques should always be employed. Additionally, as it can irritate skin and eyes, it's crucial to avoid contact with them.
