Applications of Tetramethylammonium Chloride
Used as a selective fluorination catalyst; a phase-transfer catalyst for organic synthesis reactions—such as halogen exchange, redox processes, N-alkylation, and dichlorocarbene generation; and a curing accelerator for polymerizations involving powder coatings, epoxy resins, and similar materials.
Also serves as a conductive agent for low-temperature electrolytic aluminum refining; a modifier for organobentonite and montmorillonite; an agent for the precipitation, separation, and extraction of precious metals like platinum and palladium; a PCR amplification enhancer for plant genetics and breeding; a template agent for molecular sieves; and a chemical agent for oilfield applications.
