Application

Benzyltrimethylammonium bromide (BTMAB) can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of benzyltrimethylammonium fluorochromate (BTMAFC) by treating with an aqueous solution of CrO3 and HF. BTMAFC can be utilized as an efficient oxidizing reagent for the selective oxidation of oximes into ketones or aldehydes, and primary, secondary, allylic as well as benzylic alcohols to their corresponding carbonyl compounds.

BTMAB can be also used as:      
  • An oxidizing reagent for the conversion of monosubstituted benzylamines into corresponding aldimines in the presence of DMSO.      
  • A benzylating reagent for the benzylation of aryl amide C-H bond using Ni catalyst.

Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is the enzyme that synthesizes fatty acids de novo in human cells. Although FASN is generally expressed at low levels in most normal tissues, its expression is highly upregulated in many cancers. Consistent with this notion

The results of a pharmacological investigation on a series of meta-substituted benzyltrimethylammonium salts possessing an antimuscarinic activity are reported. Correlative analysis shows that the pharmacodynamic activity is a function of the hydrophobic-lipophilic parameter associated with the substituent.

Trichodiene synthase is a terpenoid cyclase that catalyzes the cyclization of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to form the bicyclic sesquiterpene hydrocarbon trichodiene (89%), at least five sesquiterpene side products (11%), and inorganic pyrophosphate (PP(i)). Incubation of trichodiene synthase with 2-fluorofarnesyl diphosphate
