Tetra Butyl Ammonium Bromide, Purity : 99%

Tetra Butyl Ammonium Bromide (TBAB) is a quaternary ammonium salt with the chemical formula (C4H9)4NBr. It appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents like water and ethanol. TBAB finds extensive use as a phase-transfer catalyst in organic synthesis, aiding the transfer of reactants between immiscible phases. Its structure, featuring a bulky organic group around the central nitrogen atom, enhances its solubility and facilitates efficient catalysis of reactions that would otherwise be slow or inefficient. TBAB is also employed in electrochemistry and materials science due to its ability to modify surface properties and improve ionic conductivity. While generally regarded as safe in handling and usage, appropriate precautions should be observed due to its status as a chemical reagent.
