Tetrabutylammonium chloride is theorganic compound with the formula[(CH3CH2CH2CH2)4N]+Cl−, often abbreviated as[Bu4N]Cl, where Bu stands forn-butyl. A white water-soluble solid, it is aquaternary ammonium salt ofchloride.
It sees use as aphase-transfer catalyst, although it is less popular that the corresponding bromine saltTBAC. It can also undergosalt metathesis reactions to form a variety of othertetrabutylammonium salts.[2][3] Oftentetrabutylammonium bromide is preferred as a source of tetrabutylammonium because it is lesshygroscopic than the chloride.[4]
