Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Phase Transfer Catalyst: TEACl, like other quaternary ammonium salts, acts as a phase transfer catalyst. This means it helps reactants dissolved in different phases (like oil and water) to interact by shuttling ions across the phase boundary. This is particularly useful in reactions where reactants are not soluble in the same solvent, leading to increased reaction efficiency.
  • Electrochemistry: It acts as a supporting electrolyte, improving the conductivity of solutions in electrochemical experiments. 
  • Analytical Chemistry: It is used in chromatographic techniques for separating and analyzing mixtures. 
  • Biochemical Research: It finds use in cell culture applications, helping maintain cell viability and osmotic balance.

2. Pharmaceuticals

  • Potassium Channel Blocker: TEAC is known for its ability to block potassium channels, including calcium-activated potassium channels. This property makes it useful in studying the role of potassium channels in different cellular processes and tissues.
