| Application: | Tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBACl) can be used as a phase transfer catalyst in the synthesis of:• 2-Amino-4H-chromene derivatives by the condensation reaction of aldehydes, malononitrile, and α, or β-naphthol. • Methyl esters by esterification reaction of carboxylic acids with dimethyl carbonate in the presence of K2CO3. It has also been used as an initiator to synthesize 11-trifluoromethylated dibenzodiazepines via cascade radical addition/cyclization of o-isocyanodiaryl amines. TBACl can also be used with phosphorus pentoxide for greener deoxychlorination. Process for Producing Halogenated Heteroaryl Compounds  |
