Overview

General Description

Tetrabutylammonium acetate is an effective alternative for sodium acetate (NaOAc) due to its good solubility in organic solvents.


Application

Tetrabutylammonium acetate (TBAAc) is a good source of nucleophilic acetate ion for SN 2 substitution reactions. It is commonly used to displace sulfonates and allylic halides to get corresponding acetates. Additionally, TBAAc can also be used as a mild, soluble base in Sonogashira reaction and Heck arylation.


Other Notes

Reagent for the epimerization of hydroxyl groups; base-molten salt for directing Heck-type reactions
