1-Dodecanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, hydrogen sulfate (1:1)

Description:

1-Dodecanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, hydrogen sulfate (1:1) is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its long hydrophobic dodecyl chain and a positively charged trimethylammonium group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid or viscous liquid, depending on its formulation and purity. It is soluble in water due to the presence of the hydrogen sulfate group, which enhances its ionic character. The compound exhibits surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a cationic surfactant in personal care products, detergents, and antimicrobial agents. Its structure allows it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances, facilitating emulsification and stabilization of formulations. Additionally, it may possess antimicrobial activity, making it relevant in the development of disinfectants and preservatives. However, safety and environmental considerations are essential, as quaternary ammonium compounds can be toxic to aquatic life and may cause skin irritation. Proper handling and disposal practices are recommended when working with this substance.

Dodecyltrimethylammonium hydrogen sulfate

CAS: 103999-25-3

Dodecyltrimethylammonium hydrogen sulfate is a cationic surfactant that is used in pharmaceutical dosage forms, such as suppositories and eye drops. It has been shown to interact with both oxidising and non-oxidising gases, such as ethylene and silicon. Dodecyltrimethylammonium hydrogen sulfate also acts as a gas sensor for chloride ion at low concentrations. Dodecyltrimethylammonium hydrogen sulfate is an acidic compound that can be assayed by adding a base to the solution. This produces an endothermic reaction which can be measured using voltammetry. Dodecyltrimethylammonium hydrogen sulfate has been shown to react with chloride ions, which are found in butene gas.
