(2-Bromoethyl)trimethylammonium bromide

Description:
(2-Bromoethyl)trimethylammonium bromide, with the CAS number 2758-06-7, 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 bromoethyl group. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, which is a common trait of quaternary ammonium salts. It is often used in organic synthesis and as a reagent in various chemical reactions, particularly in the preparation of surfactants and as a phase-transfer catalyst. The presence of the bromoethyl group allows for nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it useful in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Additionally, due to its cationic properties, it can interact with negatively charged species, which can be advantageous in applications such as antimicrobial agents or in the modification of surfaces. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
