Tetramethylammonium nitrate

According to le Roux [53] tetramethylammonium nitrate has no explosive properties it did not detonate even when initiated by a strong charge of PETN. Attempts to provoke explosive decomposition by impact failed. Le Roux suggested that the compound might be used as an ingredient of explosive mixtures, for instance blended with cyclonite or incorporated in a fusible mixture with ammonium nitrate (see Vol. III).

Le Roux [19] proposed the use of fusible mixtures of ammonium nitrate with tetramethylammonium nitrate (Vol. II, p. 466). 

Carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl were determined in cabbage and onions (5,44). Au-tors et al. (44) used the cation-exchange technique for the HPLC determination. The preservatives were detected at 275 nm, and tetramethylammonium nitrate in nitric acid was used as mobile phase recoveries were 75% at a level of 0.08 mg/kg, when the determination limit of the method was 0.02 mg/kg.

Chromatography of MBC is carried out on a strong Zipax CSX cation-exchange column (100 cm X 0.21 cm I.D.). The column is first equilibrated under the following conditions column temperature, 60 °C mobile phase, 0.025 TV tetramethylammonium nitrate-0.02 TV nitric acid flow-rate, 0.5 ml/min. The chromatogram shown in Fig.4.28 is of the analysis of benomyl (as MBC) and 2-aminobenzimidazole (2-AB), a minor metabolite of benomyl, present in cucumber in amounts of 0.05 and 0.1 ppm respectively. The limits of detection are in the range 0.05-0.1 ppm (equivalent to 5-10 ng of benomyl injected). UV detection is made at 254 nm. 

However the mixtures of tetramethylammonium nitrate with polymers can burn in the presence of ferric oxide wliich proved to be an efficient catalyst for burning such mixtures [41].

Nitronium triflate (Tf0N02) which is readily generated in dichloromethane from tetramethylammonium nitrate (McqN NOa") and triflic anhydride, can be used as a nitrating agent. Its application for the nitration of methyl thiophene-2-carboxylate afforded 5-nitro- and 4-nitro-substituted isomeric products in 91% combined yield (Scheme 89) [137].
