Product Description

A phenyl group, three methyl groups, one nitrogen atom, and three bromide anions make up the quaternary ammonium salt known as phenyltrimethylammonium tribromide (PTMATB). PTMABr3 is a frequent abbreviation for it.

In chemical synthesis, PTMATB is frequently used as a brominating reagent to introduce bromine into molecules. It can also be employed as a phase transfer catalyst, enabling the transition of a reactant between different phases (such as solid and liquid).

PTMATB can be employed in organic synthesis processes as well as as a reducing agent and a catalyst in polymerization processes.

Although PTMATB is typically regarded as a safe and efficient reagent and catalyst, it is crucial to handle it carefully because it can be harmful if swallowed or inhaled in excessive amounts. When handling PTMATB, proper ventilation, protection gear, and handling techniques should always be employed. Additionally, as it can irritate skin and eyes, it's crucial to avoid contact with them.
