1-Heptadecanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, bromide

Description:
1-Heptadecanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, bromide, commonly referred to as a quaternary ammonium compound, is characterized by its long hydrophobic alkyl chain and a positively charged nitrogen atom. This compound features a heptadecyl group, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties, making it soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. The trimethyl groups attached to the nitrogen enhance its cationic nature, allowing it to interact with anionic species and surfaces. As a bromide salt, it typically exists as a white crystalline solid at room temperature. This substance is often utilized in various applications, including as a surfactant, antimicrobial agent, and in the formulation of personal care products due to its ability to reduce surface tension and provide conditioning effects. Additionally, its quaternary ammonium structure allows it to exhibit biocidal properties, making it effective against a range of microorganisms. However, safety considerations must be taken into account, as quaternary ammonium compounds can be irritants and may pose environmental concerns.
