Tetrahexylammonium (iodide)

Tetrahexylammonium (iodide) is an organic compound containing ammonium and iodide ions. It is commonly used as a phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis, especially in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Tetrahexylammonium (iodide) is a strong base that facilitates the transfer of reactants between immiscible solvents, resulting in more efficient chemical reactions. In addition, it can also be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other quaternary ammonium compounds.
