General description

We are committed to providing greener alternatives that adhere to the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. This salt reagent serves as a weakly coordinating anion source for efficient catalyst activation, reducing toxic halide levels while maintaining high reactivity, thus aligns with Green Chemistry principle "Catalysis". Click here for more information.
Benzyltributylammoniumchloride (BTBAC, BTBA) is a chemical compound to produce a series of quaternary amino acids in moderate to good yields. BTBAC is most efficient phase transfer catalysts (PTC).

Application

Benzyltributylammonium chloride is used:
  • As a hydrogen bond acceptor (HBAs) in the synthesis of new series of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) with common hydrogen bond donors.
  • As a cationic surfactant to study the interactions with anionic dyes such as indigo carmine (IC) and amaranth (Amr)by conductometric method.
