Tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate is a widely used phase-transfer catalyst in organic synthesis. Its molecular formula is C16H36F6NPF6 (CAS No. 27539-50-4). Produced via quaternization of tributylamine with butyl halides followed by anion exchange, it serves as a critical electrolyte salt.
Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture to prevent hydrolysis. Use appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles; avoid inhalation of dust or mist due to potential toxicity.
