Product Usage
Tetrabutylammonium Iodide (TBAI for short), with CAS No. 311-28-4 and chemical formula C₁₆H₃₆IN, appears as white to pale yellow crystalline powder. It is easily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone and acetonitrile, and is a commonly used quaternary ammonium salt compound with both phase transfer catalysis and ionic conductivity. Its core application is in the field of organic synthesis, serving as a phase transfer catalyst that can effectively promote reactions between aqueous and organic phases, accelerate nucleophilic substitution, redox and other reactions, greatly improving reaction efficiency and yield. It is widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis and fine chemical product preparation. In the field of electrochemistry, it can be used as an electrolyte additive to improve the conductivity of electrolytes; it is also used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and an ion-pair reagent in analytical chemistry, making it an indispensable special raw material in fine chemical and electrochemical fields.
