Reaction Steps

A typical TMBAOH solution was prepared as follows. Trimethylbutylammonium iodide, 1466.3 g, was dissolved in 1948.6 g deionized water in a 5 liter 3-necked round bottom flask equipped with overhead stirring. A 1 wt. % excess of silver(I) oxide, (99%), 712 g, was added and stirred in the dark for 24 hours. The resulting trimethylbutylammonium hydroxide solution was isolated by filtration.
