Tetra propyl ammonium bromide

Tetra propyl ammonium bromide

TPAB; Tetra-n-propylammonium bromide; Quaternary Ammonium Bromide

CAS 1112-71-6

Chemical Formula C12H28BrN

Molecular Weight 266.26 g/mol

Tetra propyl ammonium bromide is a quaternary ammonium salt containing four propyl groups attached to a central nitrogen atom with bromide as the counterion. It is widely used as a phase transfer catalyst, in organic synthesis, and as a reagent in polymer and specialty chemical production. Its bromide ion and quaternary ammonium structure enable efficient ionic transfer in both lab-scale and industrial reactions.
 

Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Zeolite Template Agent: TPABr is widely used as a structure-directing agent (SDA) in the synthesis of zeolites (like ZSM-5 type).
  • Phase Transfer Catalyst: Facilitates reactions between immiscible phases, improving yields in organic synthesis.

2. Construction

  • Zeolite-Based Additives: Zeolites synthesized using TPABr are used in cement, concrete, and construction chemicals to improve durability and water resistance.
