General description

Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide 30-hydrate is commonly used as a strong base and phase-transfer catalyst in organic synthesis. Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide 30-hydrate (TBAH) dissolved in HPLC grade diethyl ether has been used to compose the solvent system in a study.

Application

Tetrabutylammoniumhydroxide 30-hydrate (TBAOH) can be used as:
  • A catalyst in the hydroxyalkylation reaction of phenols with cyclic carbonates to synthesize aryl β-hydroxyethylethers.
  • A base for the selective degradation of lignins to monomeric aromatics.
  • A reactant to synthesize hydroxyfuroxan tetrabutylammonium salts by reacting with nitrofuroxans.
It can also be used in the solvothermal synthesis of SNS (simple nanoscroll structures) and INS (intercalated nanoscrolls) hexaniobate nanoscrolls.
