Description

Oxone Tetrabutylammonium Salt is a versatile and powerful oxidizing agent, specifically the tetrabutylammonium salt of potassium peroxymonosulfate. This compound is valued for its enhanced solubility in organic solvents compared to its potassium counterpart, making it a crucial reagent for selective oxidations in non-aqueous media. It is primarily sought after by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for applications requiring controlled and efficient oxidation under mild conditions.

Application

• Organic Synthesis: A key reagent for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones, and for the epoxidation of alkenes under phase-transfer conditions.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of complex drug molecules where selective oxidation steps are required in process chemistry.
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Employed in the production of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances that involve sensitive oxidation transformations.
• Polymer Chemistry: Acts as an initiator or modifying agent in certain polymerization processes and surface treatments.
• Research & Development: A standard tool in academic and industrial R&D labs for developing new synthetic methodologies.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Utilized in the manufacturing of certain pesticides and herbicides that contain sulfoxide or sulfone functional groups.

Quality Control

Our Oxone Tetrabutylammonium Salt is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity, consistent performance, and batch-to-batch reproducibility. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided and available upon request. We adhere to relevant industry standards for laboratory and fine chemical reagents.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent decomposition. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong reducing agents, acids, and organic materials.
