Chemical Structure

Tetrabutylammonium chloride hydrate CAS 37451-68-6 chemical structure

Description

Tetrabutylammonium chloride hydrate (CAS 37451-68-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H36NClH2O and a molecular weight of 295.94 g/mol.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Tetrabutylammonium chloride hydrate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 295.94 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Tetrabutylammonium chloride hydrate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
