Cetyltrimethylammonium tosylate

Description:
Cetyltrimethylammonium tosylate, with the CAS number 138-32-9, is a quaternary ammonium compound that serves as a surfactant and a phase transfer catalyst. It is characterized by its long hydrophobic cetyl chain, which consists of 16 carbon atoms, and a positively charged quaternary ammonium group. The tosylate anion, derived from toluenesulfonic acid, contributes to its solubility in both polar and nonpolar solvents, making it effective in various applications, including emulsification and stabilization of colloidal systems. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in water and organic solvents. Its surfactant properties allow it to reduce surface tension, facilitating the mixing of immiscible liquids. Additionally, cetyltrimethylammonium tosylate exhibits antimicrobial properties, making it useful in personal care products and disinfectants. However, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant effects on skin and eyes. Overall, its unique structure and properties make it valuable in both industrial and laboratory settings.
