white powder

A compound that displays antibacterial properties

Displays antibacterial properties due to the presence of the quaternary amine and the counter ion.

Tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate can be prepared from tetrabutylammonium azide by treating it with potassium hydrogen sulfate and 10% aqueous sulfuric acid in aqueous medium or from tetrabutylammonium thiocyanate by treating it with relatively concentrated sulfuric acid (70%) at 75 °C.

The sulfate crystallises from acetone. It has been used as a phase transfer catalyst.
