Description

General description

Tetraheptylammonium bromide is a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) mainly used as a phase-transfer agent. It is used as a catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions.

Application

Tetraheptylammonium bromide can be used as:

• An alkylation reagent to synthesize benzothiazoles by using iodoanilines and sulfur.
• A solvent in the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki and Stille coupling reactions of aryl halides.
• A catalyst for carboxylative cyclization of propargylic amines to synthesize oxazolidinones.
