Application


  • Effective Oxidation Catalysis: It enhances the oxidation of benzylic and alkane C-H bonds under phase-transfer conditions, using Oxone as a terminal oxidant, indicating its role in improving oxidation reactions in organic chemistry (Cui et al., 2011).

  • Hydrogen Bonding Studies: The interaction of Tetra-n-butylammonium hydrogen sulfate with protic acids has been studied, providing insights into hydrogen bond-controlled adduct formation critical for molecular recognition processes in chemical engineering (Zakavi et al., 2010).
