Tetramethylammonium chloride is one of the simplest quaternary ammonium salts bearing only four methyl groups tetrahedrally attached to the central N. The chemical formula (CH3)4N+Cl− is often abbreviated further as Me4N+Cl−. It is a very hygroscopic colourless solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. Tetramethylammonium chloride is a major industrial chemical being used in such processes as hydrofracking.
