Tetraethylammonium Chloride
Tetraethylammonium Chloride (CAS: 56-34-8) is a quaternary ammonium salt supplied as a white to light yellow crystalline powder. It is widely used as a phase-transfer catalyst in organic synthesis, moving ions into organic phases to accelerate displacement, alkylation, and condensation reactions. It is also a precursor for tetraethylammonium hydroxide and other derivatives, and a supporting electrolyte in electrochemical studies. The salt is freely soluble in water and polar solvents, supporting straightforward dosing and recovery. Customers select it where a stable, easily handled quaternary ammonium catalyst with reliable performance is required.
