Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide is the chemical compound with the formula (C₄H₉)₄NOH, abbreviated Bu₄NOH with the acronym TBAOH or TBAH. This species is employed as a solution in water or alcohols. It is a common base in organic chemistry. Relative to more conventional inorganic bases, such as KOH and NaOH, Bu₄NOH is more soluble in organic solvents.^[1]
