Tetrabutylammonium iodide

Description:

Tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) is a quaternary ammonium salt characterized by its tetrabutylammonium cation and iodide anion. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in polar organic solvents such as acetone and ethanol, but less soluble in water. TBAI is known for its ability to act as a phase transfer catalyst, facilitating the transfer of ions across immiscible phases in chemical reactions. This property makes it valuable in organic synthesis and various industrial applications. The compound has a relatively low melting point and can decompose upon prolonged heating. TBAI is also hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air, which can affect its stability and reactivity. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes. Overall, tetrabutylammonium iodide is a versatile reagent in organic chemistry, particularly in reactions involving nucleophiles and electrophiles.
