Tetramethylammonium borohydride

Description:
Tetramethylammonium borohydride (TMAB) is a chemical compound with the formula (CH₃)₄N⁺BH₄⁻. It is a quaternary ammonium salt that consists of a tetramethylammonium cation and a borohydride anion. TMAB is typically a white crystalline solid that is soluble in polar solvents such as water and methanol. It is known for its reducing properties, making it useful in various chemical reactions, particularly in organic synthesis and in the reduction of carbonyl compounds. The compound is stable under normal conditions but should be handled with care due to its reactivity with moisture and potential to release hydrogen gas upon decomposition. TMAB is often used in laboratories for its ability to facilitate reactions that require a strong reducing agent. Additionally, it has applications in the preparation of boron-containing compounds and in the field of materials science. As with all chemical substances, appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling TMAB to avoid exposure and ensure safe usage.
