octan-1-aminium bromide

Description:
Octan-1-aminium bromide, also known as octylammonium bromide, is a quaternary ammonium salt characterized by its long hydrophobic octyl chain and a positively charged ammonium group. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents, such as water and alcohols, due to its ionic nature. Its structure consists of an octyl group (C8H17) attached to an ammonium ion (NH4+), with bromide (Br-) serving as the counterion. Octan-1-aminium bromide is often used in various applications, including as a surfactant, emulsifying agent, and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Its amphiphilic properties allow it to reduce surface tension and stabilize emulsions, making it valuable in both industrial and laboratory settings. Additionally, it may exhibit antimicrobial properties, which can be beneficial in certain formulations. As with many quaternary ammonium compounds, it is important to handle octan-1-aminium bromide with care, as it can be toxic in high concentrations and may pose environmental risks.
