Usage

General Description

Bis(tetra-n-butylammonium) peroxydisulfate is a strong oxidizing agent with the chemical formula (C16H36N)2S2O8. It is commonly used in organic synthesis, specifically as a reagent for the oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds. BIS(TETRA-N-BUTYLAMMONIUM) PEROXYDISULFATE is often preferred over other peroxydisulfates due to its enhanced solubility in organic solvents, making it suitable for use in non-aqueous environments. Additionally, bis(tetra-n-butylammonium) peroxydisulfate is also used as an initiator in the polymerization of vinyl monomers. However, it is important to handle this chemical with care as it can be a strong irritant to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, and can cause severe burns upon prolonged exposure.
