1-Decanaminium, N-decyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methyl-, propanoate (salt)

Description:

1-Decanaminium, N-decyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methyl-, propanoate (salt) is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its long hydrophobic alkyl chain and a positively charged nitrogen atom. This compound features a decyl group, which contributes to its surfactant properties, making it effective in reducing surface tension. The presence of the hydroxyethyl group enhances its solubility in water and may provide additional functionality, such as acting as a stabilizing agent in formulations. As a salt, it typically exists in a solid form at room temperature and can dissolve in polar solvents. Its applications may include use in personal care products, as a conditioning agent, or in various industrial formulations due to its antimicrobial properties. The compound's structure suggests it may exhibit both hydrophilic and hydrophobic characteristics, allowing it to interact with a variety of substances, making it versatile in different chemical environments. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with many quaternary ammonium compounds, due to potential irritant effects.
