Application scenarios

1. Organic Synthesis and Catalysis Chemistry

– Phase Transfer Catalysts (PTC):

This is its core application. It can transfer anions (such as OH⁻) from the aqueous phase to the organic phase, significantly improving the rate and efficiency of heterogeneous reactions.

– Strong Base Catalysts:

As strong organic bases, they directly participate in various organic reactions. For example, they act as catalysts in the electrochemical synthesis of adiponitrile and can also catalyze the polymerization of organosilicones (such as silicone rubber).

– Synthesis of Specific Drug Molecules:

Studies show that it can efficiently catalyze the synthesis of pyranopyrimidine ketone derivatives with antibacterial and antitumor biological activities.

2. Materials Science

– Molecular Sieve Templates:

In the synthesis of molecular sieve materials such as zeolites, their cationic structure can act as a template guide.

– Nanomaterial Synthesis Auxiliaries:

In the preparation of titanium dioxide sol or carbon-doped titanium dioxide, it can be used as a hydrolysis control agent or reaction medium.

– Surfactant Modifiers:

Used to adjust the performance of surfactant products.

3. Electronics Industry

– Cleaning Agents: Used for precision cleaning of electronic components.

4. Analytical Chemistry

– Non-Aqueous Titration Reagents:

Used as titrants in potentiometric titration to determine the content of weak acids in non-aqueous or weakly acidic media.

– Ion-Pairing Reagents:

Used as ion-pairing reagents in chromatographic analysis (such as MPIC) to determine anions.

– Polarographic Reagents and pH Adjusters:

Used to adjust the pH environment in electrochemical analysis and routine experiments.

Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide Usage

1. This product is a cleaning reagent for the electronics industry.

2. Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide needs to be added to many mobile phases. Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide is an ion-pairing reagent, whose function is to improve the separation effect. It hurts the chromatographic column, so be careful not to use it for a long time, the concentration is not easy to be too large, and the high concentration does not significantly change the retention characteristics. The column equilibration time is significantly longer after use.

3. This product can also be used in organic strong alkalis.
