TETRABUTYL AMMONIUM IODIDE AR phase transfer catalyst

Tetrabutyl ammonium iodide is used primarily when you need both a phase-transfer catalyst AND a co-catalyst to activate an alkyl chloride or bromide alkylating agent. An example is shown in the PTC Reaction of the month above.

Tetrabutyl ammonium iodide is used primarily when you need both a phase-transfer catalyst AND a co-catalyst to activate an alkyl chloride or bromide alkylating agent. ... Many process chemists use tetrabutyl ammonium bromide together with 1 mole% KI, since KI is more likely to be bought at current market price.

Dosage

Tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) is a quaternary ammonium compound. It is the most widely used phase transfer catalyst. ... TBAB is reported to decrease retention time and remove peak tailing by acting as an ion pair reagent during the chromatographic analysis of quaternary ammonium compounds.
