CAS 13106-53-1: Pyridinium, 1-hexadecyl-4-methyl-, chloride (1:1)
Description:Pyridinium, 1-hexadecyl-4-methyl-, chloride (1:1), commonly referred to as a quaternary ammonium compound, is characterized by its long hydrophobic alkyl chain and a positively charged pyridinium ring. This compound typically exhibits surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a biocide, antimicrobial agent, and in formulations for personal care products. Its structure consists of a pyridine ring substituted with a hexadecyl group at the nitrogen atom and a methyl group at the 4-position, contributing to its amphiphilic nature. The chloride ion serves as the counterion, balancing the positive charge of the pyridinium. Due to its long hydrophobic tail, this compound tends to have low solubility in water but can interact with biological membranes, which may enhance its efficacy in antimicrobial applications. Additionally, it may exhibit stability under a range of pH conditions, making it suitable for various formulations. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential toxicity, as quaternary ammonium compounds can be irritants and pose environmental concerns.
