General description

Tetrapentylammonium bromide is a quaternary ammonium salt with pentyl chains and a bromide counterion, which is generally used as a phase transfer catalyst.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives. This product falls under category 12 PAP and aligns with the Green Chemistry Principle of Catalysis. Click here for more information.

Application

Tetrapentylammonium bromide can be used:
  • As a versatile structure-directing agent for the synthesis of Zeolite-like heterobimetallic cyanide frameworks.
  • As an alkylating agent for rhodium(I)-catalyzed alkylation reaction of benzylic amines and for N-alkylation of azaheterocycles.
  • As a precursor to prepare a Cobalt-complex, {[(Pentyl)4N]3CoBr3}Cl2, which is used as a catalyst in the synthesis of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).


Electrochemical synthesis of stable graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) containing tetrapentylammonium cations has been reported.
