Methyl triethylammonium iodide (CAS 994-29-6) is a critical reagent in various applications, from pharmaceutical synthesis and agrochemical development to organic chemistry and solar cell research. Inconsistent purity or supply disruptions in these fields can derail entire production processes and research timelines. Iofina’s fully vertical production model delivers the quality and consistency these demanding applications require.
Methyl triethylammonium iodide is a quaternary ammonium salt with the molecular formula C7H18IN and a molecular weight of 243.13 g/mol. It is synthesized by quaternizing triethylamine with iodomethane, yielding a stable ionic compound with a permanently charged nitrogen center. It appears as a white to colorless crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents.
Also known as triethyl(methyl)azanium iodide, this iodide salt is sensitive to light and moisture. Proper storage in dry, sealed containers away from direct light is essential for maintaining purity and long-term stability.
Methyl triethylammonium iodide has uses in a wide range of industries, from specialty chemicals and manufacturing to pharmaceuticals and energy. Examples of specific applications include:
Phase-transfer catalysis: Facilitates the movement of reagents between immiscible phases, improving reaction efficiency and selectivity in organic synthesis
Pharmaceutical synthesis: Provides a controlled iodide ion source in the preparation of iodinated intermediates and active pharmaceutical compounds
Agrochemical development: Serves as a building block in synthetic pathways for iodine-containing crop protection agents and specialty agrochemicals
Organic synthesis: Functions as a counterion and iodide source in the construction of quaternary ammonium salts and other iodinated derivatives
Solar cell research: Serves as an electrolyte component in dye-sensitized solar cells and other energy storage applications
As one of the largest iodine producers in the United States and a vertically integrated manufacturer, Iofina controls every stage of production — from raw iodine extraction and conversion to oxidation and prilling.
We extract iodine from produced water brine streams at oil and gas operations in Oklahoma using proprietary WET® IOsorb® technology, recovering iodine that would otherwise be discarded and returning the water to the well. This process is among the most environmentally responsible iodine extraction methods in the industry, eliminating the need for third-party suppliers while delivering a stable, competitively priced supply to customers.
Iofina has spent decades developing halogen-based specialty chemicals and building the technical expertise required for complex derivative manufacturing. Iofina holds ISO 9001 certification, ChemStewards certification and membership in the Society of Chemical Manufacturers & Affiliates®.
Iofina supplies methyl triethylammonium iodide in commercial and bulk quantities to customers worldwide. To discuss technical specifications, availability and pricing, call 859-356-8000 or submit a request online.
