Application

Tetramethylammonium hydroxide solution can be used as:
  • A reagent in the organocatalyzed photoinduced Birch reduction of arenes to 1,4-cyclohexadienes.
  • A catalyst to synthesize 1,2-dihydro-1-arylnaphtho-oxazine-3-one derivatives via one-pot three-component condensation reaction of 2-naphthol, aromatic aldehydes, and urea.
  • A peptizing agent for magnetite nanoparticles to promote repulsive stabilization forces.
  • A template in the hydrothermal synthesis of hierarchical zeolite T aggregates with different sizes.
