Product Overview
Tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) in a 40% aqueous solution is an AR-grade quaternary ammonium base widely used in organic synthesis and phase-transfer catalysis. This high-purity solution offers excellent solubility in polar solvents and maintains stability under standard laboratory conditions. The analytical reagent grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive applications requiring precise pH adjustments or as a strong organic base in synthesis reactions. The 40% concentration provides an optimal balance between reactivity and handling convenience, while its aqueous form eliminates the need for additional dissolution steps. This solution is particularly valued for its ability to form stable emulsions and its compatibility with a wide range of organic compounds. The product comes in a secure, leak-proof packaging that preserves its integrity during storage and transportation. Its consistent quality and reliable performance make it a preferred choice for laboratories requiring reproducible results in their experimental procedures.
FAQs
1. What is the exact concentration of tetrapropylammonium hydroxide in this solution?
