Tetrabutylammonium tribromide (TBATB) is a quaternary ammonium salt with the chemical formula (C4H9)4NBr3. It is a yellow crystalline solid at room temperature and is commonly used as a powerful brominating agent in organic synthesis.

TBATB is known for its ability to selectively brominate various organic compounds, especially aromatic compounds. It is particularly useful in bromination reactions where other brominating agents may lead to unwanted side reactions or low selectivity.

In organic synthesis, TBATB finds applications in the preparation of brominated organic compounds, which are important intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. It is often used in reactions such as electrophilic aromatic bromination, where it selectively introduces bromine atoms into aromatic rings.

TBATB is preferred in many bromination reactions due to its high selectivity, ease of handling, and mild reaction conditions. It is also less hazardous compared to other brominating agents like bromine or N-bromosuccinimide (NBS).

However, it's important to handle TBATB with care as it can be corrosive and irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Proper safety precautions should be taken when handling, storing, and using TBATB in the laboratory.

In summary, tetrabutylammonium tribromide is a valuable reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in bromination reactions, where it enables the selective introduction of bromine atoms into organic molecules, leading to the synthesis of various brominated compounds with diverse applications.
