Overview: Tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) is a commonly used phase transfer catalyst that can increase reaction rates or effectively facilitate a variety of chemical reactions. The reagent can be used as an iodine source to generate in situ the iodides needed for the reaction, avoiding the use of some unstable and expensive iodides. In addition, the reagent is also widely used in the dealkylation reaction of esters and ethers.

Properties: Tetrabutylammonium iodide is an organic ammonium compound, which is a white crystal or powder, stable at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Dissolve in water. 

Application: Tetrabutylammonium iodide is an organic ammonium compound, which can be used as a phase transfer catalyst and polarographic analysis reagent. 

Application: TBAI as a phase transfer catalyst can effectively promote the alkylation of nucleophilic substrates such as alcohols, amines and phospholipids. In the two-phase reaction system, TBAI, as a phase transfer catalyst, is more important to promote the reaction. 

Uses: Used as a polarographic analysis reagent.

Uses: ion pair chromatography reagent, phase transfer catalyst, polarographic analysis reagent. Organic synthesis.
