Description and Uses

Tetrabutylammonium iodide is a organic ammonium compound, for which all four valences of a nitrogen atom are bonded organically. It is often used as phase-transfer catalysts and ion pair reagents.

Tetrabutylammonium iodide is used in the preparation of novel quaternary amines to serve as antibacterial agents in the rise of drug-resistant bacteria,it is also used in phosphonium reversible inhibitors of cholinesterases.
