Chemical Structure

Basic Info
Tetraethylammonium Acetate is a quaternary salt compound that has good water solubility, alkalinity and a variety of uses in organic synthesis and biochemistry.
1. Basic Information
Chemical name: Tetramethylammonium Acetate
English name: TetraMethyl Ammonium Acetate (TMAA)
Chemical formula: C 6H 15NO 2
Weight Molecular: 133.19 grams/mol
CAS Number: 10581-12-1
2. Physical properties
Appearance: Tetramethylammonium acetate is a white or off white crystalline powder, or a colorless liquid (in solution form).
Solubility:
Highly soluble in water and alcohols such as methanol and ethanol.
Soluble in certain polar organic solvents, such as DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) and DMF (dimethylformamide).
Tetramethylammonium acetate is insoluble or slightly soluble in non-polar solvents such as benzene and ether.
Melting point: approximately 130-150 ° C (specific value varies depending on hydration state).
Stability:
Stable under dry conditions, avoid moisture during storage.
Decomposition may occur under high temperature or strong acid or alkali conditions.
Tetramethylammonium acetate may release trimethylamine gas when heated, which has a certain degree of irritation.
3. Chemical properties
Ionic: Tetramethylammonium acetate is a strongly polar quaternary ammonium salt that completely dissociates in aqueous solution to form (CH3) ₄ N ⁺ and CH3 COO ⁻.
Alkaline: Due to the presence of tetramethylammonium ions, the Tetramethylammonium acetate solution exhibits a certain alkalinity (but not as strong as tetramethylammonium hydroxide TMAH).
Thermal decomposition:
Acetic acid and trimethylamine gases may be released during thermal decomposition.
Under strong alkaline conditions, it may further degrade into carbon dioxide and tetramethylamine.
Reactivity:
Tetramethylammonium acetate reacts with acid to produce acetic acid and tetramethylammonium salt.
In organic synthesis, it can be used as a weakly basic catalyst or phase transfer catalyst.
