• Useful base, either as the aqueous or methanolic (see following entries) solution, compare Benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, A14927, for a variety of alkylation and condensation reactions; see, e.g.: Synth. Commun., 13, 927 (1983). Forms salts with many anions which may then be extracted into organic solvents: Acta Chem. Scand.: 23, 2202, 2203, 2204 (1969).
