General description

Tetrabutylammonium bromide is a quaternary ammonium compound that is widely used as a phase transfer catalyst. Absolute viscosities of its aqueous solutions have been measured at various temperatures (20,25 and 30°C). Various physical properties (activity coefficient up to saturation, conductance, density and solubility in water) of TMABr have been evaluated.
Tetramethylammonium bromide (TMABr) is a quaternary ammonium salt that is widely used as a phase transfer catalyst. Absolute viscosities of its aqueous solutions have been measured at various temperatures (20,25 and 30°C). Various physical properties (activity coefficient up to saturation, conductance, density and solubility in water) of TMABr have been evaluated. Its impact on the first order rate constant values for the base hydrolysis of the following Fe(II) chelates has been investigated:




  • bis(naphthylidene alanate) (nali)
  • bis(naphthylidene phenylalanate) (nphali)
  • bis(naphthylidene aspartate) (nasi)
  • (naphthylidene histidinate) (nhi)
  • bis(naphthylidenearginate) (nari)

Application

Tetrabutylammonium bromide may be used in the molten state in the following processes:
  • Synthesis of (2S)-5-(3-phenyl-2-phthalimidylpropanoylamino)isophthalic acid.
  • Synthesis of alkyl-substituted pyrroles in the absence of catalyst and organic solvent.
  • Synthesis of dithioacetals from acetals by transthioacetalisation in a solvent free environment.
  • Synthesis of polyamides (PAs) by the polymerization of terephthalic acid and diisocyanates.
  • Catalyze the addition of thiols to conjugated alkenes.
  • Dehydrochlorination of poly(vinyl chloride).
Tetramethylammonium bromide may be used as a template in the synthesis of small colloidal zeolite Y nanocrystals.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
