• Uses: Tetramethylammonium bromide acts as an ion pair reagent. It is used as a surface-active agent and an active ingredient for conditioners. Further, it is used as a softner for textiles and paper products. It is also employed as a disinfection agent, sanitizer, antimicrobial and antistatic agent. In addition to this, it plays in important role as a phase transfer catalyst in synthetic chemistry. Tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) 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).
