CAS 2138-24-1: Tetrahexylammonium iodide

Description: Tetrahexylammonium iodide is a quaternary ammonium salt characterized by its structure, which consists of a central nitrogen atom bonded to four hexyl groups and an iodide anion. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is known for its solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, including as a phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis. Its hydrophobic hexyl chains contribute to its surfactant properties, allowing it to facilitate the transfer of ions between aqueous and organic phases. Tetrahexylammonium iodide is also recognized for its ability to form stable ionic liquids when combined with certain solvents, enhancing its utility in electrochemistry and materials science. Additionally, it exhibits low toxicity, but like many quaternary ammonium compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential environmental impacts. Overall, its unique properties make it a valuable compound in both industrial and research settings.
