General description

Trimethylphenylammonium hydroxide solution (TMPAH) is a quaternary ammonium compound that is commonly used as a strong base in organic synthesis. It is also used as a deprotecting agent for the removal of t-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) groups from amino acids or peptides and benzyl protecting groups from alcohols or amines.

Application

Trimethylphenylammonium hydroxide solution can be used to initiate the polymerization of the monomer 1,8-dihydroxymethyl-1,3,5,7-octatetrayne (DHOT) for the preparation of polymer nanospheres. It is also used as a base in the synthesis of alkyl 3-nitroacrylates via aldol reaction with nitroacetaldehyde or nitroacetone.

Analytical limitations considerably hinder our understanding of the impacts of the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials (NMs) on their biological fate in organisms. Here, using a fit-for-purpose analytical workflow, including dosing and emerging analytical techniques, NMs present in organisms are characterized

A natural shale and four synthetic organoclays were compared as potential sorbent additives to containment barriers at hazardous waste sites. Trimethylphenyl ammonium bentonite (TMPA-bent) was shown in batch experiments to have the greatest sorption capacities for 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, trichloroethylene, and methyl
