Product Description
Basic Information
- Product Name: Tetrabutylammonium hydrogen phosphate
- CAS No.:5574-97-0
- Molecular Formula:C16H36NO4P
- Molecular Weight:339.43
Physical and Chemical Properties
- Appearance:Typically white crystalline powder or crystals.
- Solubility:Highly soluble in polar solvents like water, methanol, and ethanol; slightly soluble in organic solvents such as acetone.
- Melting Point:Approx. 230-240°C (decomposes).
- Electrolytic Property:Completely dissociates into ions in solution, exhibiting strong ionic conductivity.
- Alkalinity:The hydrogen phosphate anion (HPO4²) undergoes weak hydrolysis in water, rendering the solution weakly alkaline.
Main Applications
- Organic Synthesis
- Serves as a phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) to facilitate reactions between aqueous and organic phases, such as nucleophilic substitution and redox reactions.
- Used in the preparation of esters, ethers, nitriles, etc., to improve reaction efficiency and selectivity.
- Analytical Chemistry
- As an ion-pair reagent in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for separating polar or ionic compounds (e.g., organic acids, alkaloids) by forming ion pairs to enhance their retention on nonpolar stationary phases.
- Used as a standard reagent in potentiometric titration or acid-base titration.
- Materials Science
- As an electrolyte additive in electrochemical systems like lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells to improve the conductivity and stability of electrolytes.
- Applied in polymer synthesis as a catalyst or electrolyte component.
- Other Fields
- Used as a surfactant in the preparation of emulsions and detergents for emulsification or dispersion.
- Serves as a pharmaceutical intermediate in drug synthesis as a catalyst or reaction medium.
Safety and Storage
- Hazards:Irritating; contact with skin, eyes, or inhalation of dust may cause discomfort. Wear protective equipment (gloves, goggles, etc.).
- Storage:Store in a sealed container in a dry, cool place, away from fire sources and oxidizers, and protect from moisture.
