General description

Benzyltributylammoniumchloride (BTBAC, BTBA) is a chemical compound to produce a series of quaternary amino acids in moderate to good yields. BTBAC is most efficient phase transfer catalysts (PTC).

Application

Benzyltributylammonium chloride is used:
  • As a hydrogen bond acceptor (HBAs) in the synthesis of new series of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) with common hydrogen bond donors.
  • As a cationic surfactant to study the interactions with anionic dyes such as indigo carmine (IC) and amaranth (Amr)by conductometric method.
