:

Octyltrimethylammonium chloride

Description:
Octyltrimethylammonium chloride, with the CAS number 10108-86-8, is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its long hydrophobic octyl chain and three methyl groups attached to a nitrogen atom. This structure imparts both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, making it a surfactant and a phase transfer catalyst. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid or a viscous liquid, depending on its form and purity. The compound is soluble in water and organic solvents, which enhances its utility in various applications, including as a surfactant in detergents, emulsifiers, and in the formulation of personal care products. Additionally, it exhibits antimicrobial properties, making it useful in disinfectants and preservatives. Octyltrimethylammonium chloride is also employed in the extraction and separation of certain ions and compounds in analytical chemistry. However, like many quaternary ammonium compounds, it can be toxic to aquatic life, necessitating careful handling and disposal.
