Product Application of Tetrabutylammonium Bromide CAS#1643-19-2
Tetrabutylammonium bromide is widely used as a phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceutical intermediates such as benzyltriethylammonium chloride, ethyl cinnamate, and pseudoionone.
It is also applied in the synthesis of organic pharmaceutical compounds, including anti-infective agents such as bacampicillin and sultamicillin. In addition, tetrabutylammonium bromide can serve as a catalyst in the production of novel mechanism-based antidiabetic drugs, such as dapagliflozin.
Company Profile
