Tetraethylammonium hydroxide

Description:
Tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its structure, which consists of a central nitrogen atom bonded to four ethyl groups and a hydroxide ion. It is typically encountered as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its concentration and form. TEAOH is highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a strong base in organic synthesis and as a phase transfer catalyst. The compound exhibits hygroscopic properties, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. Due to its quaternary ammonium nature, TEAOH can interact with various anions and cations, influencing its reactivity and solubility. It is important to handle TEAOH with care, as it can be corrosive and may cause irritation to skin and eyes. In laboratory settings, it is often used in the preparation of other chemical compounds and in studies involving ionic liquids and surfactants. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance.
