Application

Tetrabutylammonium nitrate, a versatile white powder, finds utility across various applications. It is integral in coatings, printing inks, rubber, glass, leather, and cosmetics. In chemical processes, it functions as a supporting electrolyte in liquid ammonia and aids in transforming triflates into nitrates. Its role extends to facilitating the inversion of alcohol configurations with tosylates and serving as a NO3- ion source for nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, it assists in converting halides into ketones and provides nitronium ions essential for the nitration of olefins, amides, ribonucleosides, glycols, and aromatic compounds, highlighting its broad utility in industrial and chemical contexts.
