|  |  | Benzyltriethylammonium chloride Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Chemical Properties | white to light yellow crystal powder. soluble in water, aqueous solutions conduct electricity. It is hydrochloride salt of benzyltriethylammonium which acts as a phase-transfer catalyst in chemical reactions. |  | Uses | Benzyltriethylammonium chloride is used as a catalyst in the preparation of 2-phenylbutyronitrile from phenyl acetonitrile. It is involved in the Knoevenagel condensation of carbonyl compounds with active methylene compounds to give olefinic products. It acts as a phase transfer catalyst used in the alkylation reaction. It reacts with 1H-Pyridine-2-thione to get 2-Benzylsulfanyl-pyridine. |  | Application | Benzyltriethylammonium chloride is a lipophilic phase-transfer catalyst that can be used in phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) to catalyze polycondensation reactions to form high molecular weight polymers under bi-phasic conditions. It can also be used:
 To activate hydroxyapatite and natural phosphate for use as a solid support for Knoevenagel condensation and Claisen-Schmidt condensation, respectively at room temperature and in the absence of a solvent.
 To increase the efficiency of mCPBA oxidation of sulfonimine generated from arenesulfonamide and diethyl acetal of an aromatic aldehyde to form 2-sulfonyloxaziridines.
 In combination with antimony(V) chloride to form a catalytic system for the Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions of arenes with acyl and sulfonyl chlorides.
 |  | Preparation | Benzyltriethylammonium chloride synthesis: Add benzyl chloride, triethylamine and acetone into the reaction pot, and reflux at 63-64°C for 8 hours. Slowly lowered to 15°C, filtered, and the filter cake was washed with acetone and dried to obtain benzyltriethylammonium chloride. Yield 68.9%. |  | Safety Profile | Poison by intravenous route.When heated to decomposition it emits toxic vapors ofNOx and Cl. |
