Overview of Tetrabutylammonium Chloride

Tetrabutylammonium Chloride (TBAC) is a versatile quaternary ammonium salt widely used as a phase-transfer catalyst, electrolyte additive, and organic synthesis reagent. Its strong solubility in organic and aqueous systems makes it a preferred material in polymer chemistry, electrochemical applications, pharmaceuticals, and industrial formulations.

With excellent catalytic performance, stability, and compatibility, TBAC plays a key role in enhancing reaction rates and enabling smooth transfer of reactive ions between phases — especially in two-phase organic reactions.
