General description

Benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide solution is used as a phase transfer catalyst. It can assist in situ transesterificaion to synthesize biodiesel.

Application

Benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide can be used:
  • As a base in the synthesis of activated ynesulfonamides and tertiary enesulfonamides.
  • In the synthesis of 3-indolyl-3-hydroxy oxindoles by treating isatin with indole.
  • As a precursor for the preparation of quaternary ammonium acetate, benzyltrimethylammonium acetate (NBz111AcO). NBz111AcO solution in DMSO can be used to dissolve cellulose.
