Tetrabutyl Ammonium Hydroxide (TBAOH) 0.10N / 0.10M in a methanol–propanol
Tetrabutyl Ammonium Hydroxide (TBAOH) 0.10N / 0.10M in a methanol–propanol mixed solvent is a dilute organic base solution widely used in organic synthesis, ion-pair chromatography, catalysis, and analytical titrations. The alcohol solvent system provides improved solubility in organic matrices and reduces water content for moisture-sensitive reactions.
