:1-Hexadecanaminium, N,N,N-triethyl-, chloride (1:1)
Description:
1-Hexadecanaminium, N,N,N-triethyl-, chloride (1:1), commonly referred to as triethylhexadecanammonium chloride, is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain and a positively charged nitrogen atom. This compound features a hexadecane backbone, which contributes to its lipophilic properties, making it soluble in organic solvents while exhibiting limited solubility in water. The triethyl groups attached to the nitrogen enhance its steric bulk and influence its interaction with biological membranes, often leading to surfactant-like behavior. As a quaternary ammonium salt, it typically acts as a cationic surfactant, which can facilitate emulsification, antimicrobial activity, and phase transfer in various applications. Its chloride counterion contributes to its stability and solubility in aqueous environments. Due to its unique structure, this compound is utilized in various fields, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and as a reagent in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential toxicity, as quaternary ammonium compounds can exhibit irritant properties.
