Tetramethylammonium chloride (TMAC) is a quaternary ammonium salt with a chemical formula (CH3)4N+Cl- or Me4N+Cl-. It's a hygroscopic, colorless solid, readily soluble in water and polar organic solvents. TMAC is used as a phase-transfer catalyst in organic synthesis, facilitating reactions between immiscible phases. It also finds applications in various fields like hydrofracking, where it acts as a low-residue bactericide, and in the synthesis of liquid crystal epoxy compounds.

Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Phase-transfer catalyst: TMAC is a key component in phase-transfer catalysis, a technique that enables reactions between substances that normally wouldn't mix, like oil and water. It helps reactants move between these phases, making reactions more efficient.
  • Organic synthesis: TMAC is a building block in organic reactions, particularly quaternization, where it adds quaternary ammonium groups to molecules. 
  • Electrochemistry: In electrochemistry, TMAC is used in electrolytes, enhancing conductivity for electroplating and other processes. 
  • Precursor: TMAC serves as a precursor in the production of other quaternary ammonium salts and is incorporated into various specialty chemicals where its solubility and reactivity are beneficial.
