Application
Tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBACl) can be used as a phase transfer catalyst in the synthesis of:
TBACl can also be used with phosphorus pentoxide for greener deoxychlorination.
Process for Producing Halogenated Heteroaryl Compounds
- 2-Amino-4H-chromene derivatives by the condensation reaction of aldehydes, malononitrile, and α, or β-naphthol.
- Methyl esters by esterification reaction of carboxylic acids with dimethyl carbonate in the presence of K2CO3.
