(5-BROMOPENTYL)TRIMETHYLAMMONIUM BROMIDE

Description:

(5-Bromopentyl)trimethylammonium bromide is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its cationic nature due to the presence of a positively charged nitrogen atom bonded to three methyl groups and a pentyl chain that is brominated at the fifth carbon. This structure imparts surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a phase transfer catalyst and in the formulation of antimicrobial agents. The bromide ion serves as a counterion, contributing to the compound's solubility in polar solvents. It typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. The compound is generally stable under standard conditions but should be handled with care due to its potential toxicity and irritant properties. Its applications extend to biochemical research, particularly in studies involving membrane transport and cellular interactions, owing to its ability to interact with biological membranes. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance to mitigate any health risks.
