Description:Tetrabutylammonium bromide is prepared buy mixing n-butylbromide with tributylamine in acetonitrile, in an inert atmosphere, under reflux conditions for a sufficient period of time to form a solution containing tetrabutylammonium bromide, cooling the resulting solution; mixing the solution with water, thus forming a mixture; and recovering tetrabutylammonium bromide in high yield from the mixture. (Must be done in acetonitrile or yeilds are very bad)
