Description

1-Butanaminium, N,N,n-Tributyl-, Diiodocuprate(1-) (1:1) is a specialized organometallic salt complex, also known as tributylbutylammonium diiodocuprate. This compound matters for its role as a versatile catalyst and reagent in advanced organic synthesis, particularly in reactions requiring a source of copper(I) iodide in a stabilized, soluble form. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for developing new synthetic pathways and scaling up production of complex molecules.

Application

• Catalyst in Cross-Coupling Reactions: Employed as a catalyst in Ullmann-type and other copper-mediated C–N, C–O, and C–S bond-forming reactions.
• Reagent in Organic Synthesis: Serves as a soluble source of copper(I) iodide for various transformations, including cyclizations and functional group modifications.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Manufacturing: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and complex heterocyclic compounds.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Applied in the production of advanced pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Material Science Research: Investigated for its potential in creating novel coordination polymers or as a precursor in materials chemistry.
• Laboratory Reagent: Supplied as a high-purity chemical for method development and research in academic and industrial laboratories.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. We provide material with a typical purity of ≥95% (by HPLC or elemental analysis), tailored to meet specific research or process requirements. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results for identity, purity, and relevant impurities are available upon request. Quality is managed under a cGMP-compliant framework suitable for pharmaceutical development.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; therefore, containers should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to maintain stability and purity. Keep away from incompatible materials.
