Applications & Uses
Uses
Benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide is used as a phase-transfer catalyst. It is also used in aldol condensation reactions and base-catalyzed dehydration reactions. Further, it serves as a strong organic base and used in Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination reactions. In addition, it is an active component in the formulation, which is used in silicon wafer cleaning applications.
Uses
Benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide can be used:As a base in the synthesis of activated ynesulfonamides and tertiary enesulfonamides.In the synthesis of 3-indolyl-3-hydroxy oxindoles by treating isatin with indole.As a precursor for the preparation of quaternary ammonium acetate, benzyltrimethylammonium acetate (NBz111AcO). NBz111AcO solution in DMSO can be used to dissolve cellulose.
