CAS 220560-60-1

trimethyl(3-methylsulfonylsulfanylpropyl)ammonium bromide

Description:

Trimethyl(3-methylsulfonylsulfanylpropyl)ammonium bromide, with the CAS number 220560-60-1, 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 propyl chain that includes a sulfonyl and sulfanyl functional group. This compound is typically soluble in polar solvents, such as water and alcohols, owing to its ionic nature. It exhibits surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a phase transfer catalyst and in formulations requiring antimicrobial activity. The presence of the sulfonyl and sulfanyl groups may impart unique reactivity and stability characteristics, influencing its behavior in chemical reactions. Additionally, its bromide counterion contributes to its solubility and ionic strength in solution. As with many quaternary ammonium compounds, it may also exhibit biological activity, which can be relevant in pharmaceutical and agricultural contexts. Proper handling and safety measures should be observed due to potential toxicity and environmental impact.
