Description

Tetrahexylammonium is a quaternary ammonium compound, often used as a reagent in organic synthesis and electrochemistry. It is synthesized by the reaction of hexyl bromide with trimethylamine. Tetrahexylammonium salts are known for their ability to block potassium channels in cell membranes, making them valuable tools for studying the role of these channels in various physiological processes. They can also act as phase-transfer catalysts in organic reactions. The compound is studied due to its unique properties and potential applications in fields such as medicinal chemistry, neurochemistry, and materials science.'
