Methyltrioctylammonium Chloride (TOMAC, Trioctylmethylammonium Chloride)

• ▸ Phase-transfer catalyst: Transfers ionic reagents into the organic phase to drive two-phase reactions.
• ▸ Separations: Used in high-performance liquid chromatography for separation, including of tRNA.
• ▸ Formulation additive: Permitted as an inert ingredient in non-food pesticide products.

Transport classification per the UN Model Regulations / 49 CFR 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table. Confirm against the grade-specific SDS (Section 14) before shipping.

It is also used in liquid chromatography separations and is permitted as an inert ingredient in non-food pesticide products.”}},{“@type”:”Question”,”name”:”What is methyltrioctylammonium chloride used for?”,”acceptedAnswer”:{“@type”:”Answer”,”text”:”It is used as a phase-transfer catalyst in organic synthesis, as a stationary/mobile-phase modifier in high-performance liquid chromatography separations including tRNA, and as an extractant carrier in liquid-liquid metal extraction. It also serves as an inert formulation additive in non-food pesticide products.”}},{“@type”:”Question”,”name”:”Is Aliquat 336 the same as Adogen 464 or tricaprylylmethylammonium chloride?”,”acceptedAnswer”:{“@type”:”Answer”,”text”:”These are closely related quaternary ammonium chloride surfactants with C8 (octyl/caprylyl) alkyl chains and overlapping CAS coverage, and are often used interchangeably as phase-transfer catalysts. Exact chain-length distribution and assay vary by source, so specify your required purity and confirm identity against the CoA.”}},{“@type”:”Question”,”name”:”What is the molecular formula of methyltrioctylammonium chloride?”,”acceptedAnswer”:{“@type”:”Answer”,”text”:”Its representative formula is C25H54ClN (CAS 5137-55-3).

Pricing varies with grade and volume, so submit a bulk quote with your target quantity and packaging; a CoA and SDS accompany each shipment.”}},{“@type”:”Question”,”name”:”What is the REACH and TSCA regulatory status of Methyltrioctylammonium Chloride (TOMAC, Trioctylmethylammonium Chloride)?”,”acceptedAnswer”:{“@type”:”Answer”,”text”:”Methyltrioctylammonium Chloride (TOMAC, Trioctylmethylammonium Chloride) (CAS 5137-55-3) is subject to U.S. TSCA Inventory requirements; supplying it into the EU requires valid REACH registration ((EC) No 1907/2006). RawSource cannot verify a third-party supplier’s registrations — buyers should require documented TSCA and REACH compliance for their jurisdiction and volume (EC 225-896-2).”}}]}]}
