Benzyl trimethyl ammonium chloride TMBAC BTMAC CAS 56-93-9

As a Phase Transfer Catalyst, benzyltrimethylammonium chloride cas:56-93-9 has a density of 1.08 g/mL, a boiling point>135 º C, and a melting point of 239 ° C. It is a white to pale yellow crystalline powder, which is white to pale yellow crystalline powder at room temperature and pressure, and has strong hygroscopicity. This compounds is readily soluble in water, ethanol, hot benzene, and butanol, slightly soluble in dibutyl phthalate and tributyl phosphate, and insoluble in ether. Benzyltrimethylammonium chloride is a Quaternary Ammonium Salt compound commonly used as a phase transfer catalyst in chemical synthesis, which can be used to catalyze heterogeneous organic conversion reactions. This substance can also be used as a cellulose solvent and polymerization inhibitor, and has certain applications in the production of fine chemicals. Reflux the mixture of benzyl chloride, trimethylamine, and methanol for 4 hours, evaporate the methanol to obtain the crude product, and recrystallize from ethanol to obtain the finished product of benzyl trimethylammonium chloride with a yield of 88%.
