چکیده
The use of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (T.M.A.H.) in place of potassium hydroxide in the Zimmermann reaction has been investigated. Although various pure steroids have different colour equivalents, a comparison of the results of 17-ketosteroid and 17-hydroxycorticosteroid estimations on a series of urines showed that the differences for the two reagents were only small and may be ignored. Tetramethylammonium hydroxide has the considerable advantage over potassium hydroxide of stability and need not be prepared freshly. The correction procedures available are discussed.

Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of n-Pentanol by Tetramethylammonium Fluorochromate
The oxidation of n-pentanol by tetramethylammonium fluorochromate in acidic solution wasstudied using spectrophotometric technique. The reaction was arranged to be under pseudo firstorderconditions respect to the oxidant. A Michaelis-Menten type kinetic was observed respect tothe substrate. The reaction is catalyzed by hydrogen ions. Dependences of the reaction rates ontemperature and different...
متن کاملAbstract: Tetramethylammonium Hydroxide Poison- ing during a Pallet Cleaning Demonstration: Seung-
Tetramethylammonium (TMA) is a well-known ganglion blocker and was first extracted from the sea anemone in 1923. Today, TMA’s hydroxide, tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH), is used as a developer, etchant and polishing agent in the semiconductor manufacturing process, as well as a surfactant to prevent agglomeration. One national survey found that about 20,000 tons of TMAH are being used in K...
متن کاملToxicity of tetramethylammonium hydroxide: review of two fatal cases of dermal exposure and development of an animal model.
To document two cases of patients who were fatally exposed to tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) on the skin and to establish a rat model to investigate the effects of dermal exposure to TMAH. The charts of two workers who died from occupational accidental exposure to TMAH were reviewed. The 4-hour lethal dose (LD₅₀) of TMAH was determined by applying solutions mimicking the two most common i...
متن کاملToxicity of tetramethylammonium hydroxide to aquatic organisms and its synergistic action with potassium iodide.
The aquatic ecotoxicity of chemicals involved in the manufacturing process of thin film transistor liquid crystal displays was assessed with a battery of four selected acute toxicity bioassays. We focused on tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH, CAS No. 75-59-2), a widely utilized etchant. The toxicity of TMAH was low when tested in the 72 h-algal growth inhibition test (Pseudokirchneriellia sub...

Variable-aspect-ratio (length/diameter), one-dimensional (1-D) ZnO nanostructures (nanorods and nanowires) were prepared in alcohol/water solution by reacting a Zn2+ precursor with an organic weak base, tetramethylammonium hydroxide (Me4NOH). The effect of the experimental parameters (temperature, base concentration, reaction time, and water content) on nucleation, growth, and the final morphol...
