Tetraethyl Ammonium Bromide

TEAB — compact quaternary ammonium bromide catalyst for organic synthesis and electrochemical applications.

Tetraethyl ammonium bromide (TEAB) is a water-soluble quaternary ammonium salt used as a phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis and as a source of tetraethylammonium ions in chemical and electrochemical processes. It facilitates biphasic halogenations, substitutions and condensations, and serves as a supporting electrolyte. Assay and packaging confirmed against each customer enquiry.
