'''Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide''' is the ] with the formula (C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>9</sub>)<sub>4</sub>NOH, abbreviated Bu<sub>4</sub>NOH with the acronym TBAOH or TBAH. This species is not readily obtainable as a pure compound, but it employed as a solution in water or ]s. It is commonly used as a base in ]. Relative to more conventional inorganic bases, such as ] and ], Bu<sub>4</sub>NOH is more soluble in organic solvents. Attempted isolation of pure Bu<sub>4</sub>NOH induces ], leading to Bu<sub>3</sub>N and ]. Solutions of Bu<sub>4</sub>NOH are typically contaminated with Bu<sub>3</sub>N for this reason.<ref>Bos, M.

==Preparation and reactions==
Solutions of Bu<sub>4</sub>NOH are usually prepared ''in situ'' from butylammonium halides, Bu<sub>4</sub>NX, for example by reacting them with ] or using an ]. Attempts to isolate Bu<sub>4</sub>NOH induces ], leading to Bu<sub>3</sub>N and ]. Solutions of Bu<sub>4</sub>NOH are typically contaminated with ] for this reason.<ref name=eEROS/>

Treatment of Bu<sub>4</sub>NOH with a wide range of acids gives water and the other ] salts: <chem>Bu4NOH + HX -> Bu4NX + H2O</chem>


==Applications== ==Applications==
Bu<sub>4</sub>NOH is a strong base that is used often under ] conditions to effect ]s and ]s. Typical reactions include ]ation of amines and generation of ] from ].
