Hello it's been awhile since I have posted anything, I am breaking my silence now to request aid in acquiring some PTC's of the tetrabutylammonium.
variety. Ideally I would like the iodide or bromide however I'd be happy with any at reasonable price. Typically I don't have issues with acquisition
my suppliers carry most of what I require and what they don't I can usually prepare myself. I would like to find someone in Canada who could spare
some and or point me in the right direction. I don't like buying reagents cross border so a Canadian would be appreciated. I hope I've not broken any
rules with the post, if I have sorry, I'm no longer well versed in the newer posting rules. No offense meant.
Also feel free to u2u.
Best regards,
Issac

Tetrabutyl ammonium bromide and bisulfate among other salts are available on Amazon. Not cheap but convenient.

If you have n-butanol, it's easy enough to get n-bromobutane, and from there it's just a matter of adding to ammonia and potassium carbonate until it
loses any amine smell. It doesn't dissolve well in aqueous solutions that contain a lot of potassium or carbonate, but dissolves very well in
n-butanol, so you can extract with that.

Thank you for your replies I did look at Amazon however I have recently found ordering from .com is near impossible when one resides in Canada. With
regards to preparing the PTC's myself I would like to avoid it I do however appreciate the suggestion. I have yet to source 100gr.+ for a resonable
price but am currently very hopeful.
Regards.
