Tetraheptylammonium bromide (>98%,BC)

Description

Tetraheptylammonium bromide 98 %,BC THAB is a quaternary ammonium compound commonly used as a phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis reactions, especially those involving charged species or polar reagents. It can facilitate the transfer of reactants between two immiscible phases, such as water and organic solvents, by forming stable ion pairs. In addition, THAB is used as a surfactant, and as an additive in various products such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and detergents. Due to THABs ability to form complexes with these ions, its potential use in the removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater was also investigated.
