What is Tetrabutylammonium Bromide?
Tetrabutylammonium bromide, a quaternary ammonium compound widely used as a phase transfer catalyst. TBAB decreases the retention time and removes peak tailing by acting as an ion pair reagent during the chromatographic analysis of quaternary ammonium compounds. In the molten state, TBAB behaves like an ionic liquid, which is a promising green alternative to organic solvents in polymer synthesis.
Tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) is a quaternary ammonium salt with a bromide counterion commonly used as a phase transfer catalyst. It is used to prepared many other tetrabutylammonium salts via salt metathesis reactions.
Used as intermediate in organic synthesis, phase transfer catalyst
