Chemical Formula C10H24BrN

Molecular Weight 250.27 g/mol

Butyltriethylammonium bromide is a quaternary ammonium salt with a butyl group and three ethyl groups attached to a nitrogen atom, which is also bonded to a bromine atom. It is commonly used as a phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis, facilitating reactions between substances that are typically immiscible, such as those in aqueous and organic phases. This allows for reactions to occur more efficiently and under milder conditions. 
 

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Phase-Transfer Catalyst: Quaternary ammonium salts, like Butyltriethylammonium bromide, are effective phase-transfer catalysts. They help reactions occur more efficiently by carrying reactants from one phase (e.g., an organic solvent) to another (e.g., an aqueous solution) where they can react. This is particularly useful in pharmaceutical synthesis where many reactions involve different phases. 
  • Organic Synthesis: Butyltriethylammonium bromide's role as a phase-transfer catalyst makes it valuable in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds, including complex organic molecules.
