Benzylhexadecyldimethylammonium chloride

Description:
Benzylhexadecyldimethylammonium chloride, with the CAS number 122-18-9, is a quaternary ammonium compound commonly used as a surfactant and antimicrobial agent. It features a long hydrophobic alkyl chain (hexadecyl) and a positively charged quaternary nitrogen, which contributes to its amphiphilic nature, allowing it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid or a viscous liquid, depending on the temperature and concentration. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water, which can vary based on the pH and ionic strength of the solution. Benzylhexadecyldimethylammonium chloride exhibits biocidal properties, making it effective in various applications, including disinfectants, preservatives, and as a phase transfer catalyst. However, it is important to handle this compound with care due to its potential toxicity to aquatic organisms and its irritant effects on skin and eyes. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this chemical in laboratory or industrial settings.
