Tetrabutylammonium iodide  CAS#311-28-4

Tetrabutylammonium iodide is an organic ammonium compound with the molecular formula C16H36IN. white or tan powder. Soluble in water and ethanol, slightly soluble in chloroform and benzene. Stable under normal temperature and pressure.

Product Usage

Tetrabutylammonium iodide may be used as a mobile phase additive in ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography (IP-HPLC) assay of 4-aminopyridine in serum. It may also be used as a mobile phase additive in the analysis of tetracycline by reversed-phase IPC. The addition of tetrabutylammonium iodide regulates the retention of tetracyclines.

Tetrabutylammonium iodide can be used:

As an additive in the synthesis of fused triazole derivatives using palladium catalyst.

To prepare allyl-PEG-allyl, which is a key intermediate polymer used to synthesize fluorinated amphiphilic copolymers.

As a catalyst used in the synthesis of ethers.
