CAS 75-57-0 | Tetramethylammonium Chloride

Products Description

Tetramethylammonium Chloride, referred to as TMAC, has a CAS number of 75 - 57 - 0, an EINECS number of 200 - 880 - 8, a molecular formula of C₄H₁₂NCl, and a molecular weight of 109.6. Structurally, it consists of a central nitrogen atom connected to four methyl groups, forming a tetrahedral tetramethylammonium ion, which is then combined with a chloride ion.

In terms of physical properties, Tetramethylammonium Chloride appears as white crystals. It is volatile and hygroscopic. It has a high melting point of about 320°C. Its density is about 1.169, and it is readily soluble in methanol, soluble in water and hot ethanol, and insoluble in ether and chloroform.

Basic Info

Safety Information

Tetramethyl Ammonium Chloride is toxic to a certain extent. When using it, you should wear appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, to avoid direct contact with the skin and eyes. It may have a certain impact on aquatic organisms. During use and handling, you should pay attention to environmental protection and avoid large-scale discharge into natural water bodies.

Uses

Organic synthesis field: As a phase transfer catalyst, Tetramethylammonium Chloride can promote the reaction between the aqueous phase and the organic phase. It plays a role in halogen replacement reactions, redox reactions, N - alkylation, dichlorocarbene reactions, etc., and improves the reaction efficiency and selectivity.

Polymer materials field: In the polymerization processes of powder coatings, epoxy resins, etc., it can be used as a curing accelerator to accelerate the polymerization reactions and improve product performance and quality.

Electronics industry: It can be used as a conductive agent for low - temperature electrolytic refining of aluminum, which helps to improve the efficiency and effect of the electrolysis process. It can also be used to prepare special ceramic materials and electronic components.

Material modification field: It is a modifier for organic bentonite and montmorillonite. By interacting with these clay minerals, it can improve their properties and broaden their application ranges.

Precious metal separation: It can be used as a precipitation separation and extraction agent for precious metals platinum and palladium. By taking advantage of its specific reaction with precious metal ions, the separation and extraction of precious metals can be achieved.
