Description:(1-Butyl)triethylammonium bromide, with the CAS number 13028-69-8, is a quaternary ammonium salt characterized by its structure, which includes a butyl group attached to a nitrogen atom that is also bonded to three ethyl groups. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid or crystalline powder. It is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, which is a common trait of quaternary ammonium salts due to their ionic nature. The presence of the bromide ion contributes to its ionic character, enhancing its solubility in aqueous solutions. (1-Butyl)triethylammonium bromide is often utilized in various applications, including as a phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis, where it facilitates the transfer of reactants between immiscible phases. Additionally, it may exhibit surfactant properties, making it useful in formulations requiring emulsification or stabilization. Safety data should be consulted, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper handling and usage in laboratory or industrial settings.
