Application

Benzyltrimethylammonium chloride can be used as a phase catalyst in:
  • The synthesis of alkyl and aryl sulfonamides from thiols and disulfides in the presence of 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DCH).
  • The selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant.
  • The esterification reaction of ethanol and lauric acid.

Matrix effects have been shown to be very pronounced and highly variable in the analysis of mobile chemicals, which may severely exacerbate accurate quantification. These matrix effects, however, are still scarcely studied in combination with hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC)

1. Benzyltrimethylammonium chloride (BTMAC)-derived radioactivity was rapidly eliminated from the F344 rat and the B6C3F1 mouse following p.o. administration of 0.63-63 mg/kg of [ring-U-14C] BTMAC. Greater than 90% of the radioactivity was excreted in urine and faeces within 24-h post-dosing.
