Benzyltributylammonium Bromide CAS#25316-59-0
High Purity: When of high purity, it appears as colorless crystals, indicating a refined and clean product.
Moisture Absorption: It may slightly absorb moisture from the air, which can be controlled during storage for optimal performance.
Solubility in Organic Solvents: It dissolves easily in organic solvents like chloroform, toluene, and ethanol, making it versatile for various applications.
Weakly Alkaline Aqueous Solution: Its aqueous solution is weakly alkaline, which can be beneficial for specific chemical processes and reactions.
Benzyltributylammonium bromide appears as a white crystalline powder or granules. When its purity is high, it takes the form of colorless crystals. It has a tendency to absorb moisture when exposed to air. It is easily soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform, toluene, and ethanol, and slightly soluble in water (with a solubility of approximately 1-5 g/L at 20℃). Its aqueous solution is weakly alkaline.
