tetraoctylammonium chloride

Description:

Tetraoctylammonium chloride (TOAC) is a quaternary ammonium salt characterized by its long hydrocarbon chains, which contribute to its surfactant properties. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid or a viscous liquid, depending on the temperature. TOAC is soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and toluene but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic octyl groups. This compound is known for its ability to form micelles and can act as a phase transfer catalyst, facilitating the transfer of ions or molecules between immiscible phases. Additionally, tetraoctylammonium chloride exhibits antimicrobial properties and is used in various applications, including in the synthesis of nanoparticles and as a reagent in organic chemistry. Its structure consists of a central nitrogen atom bonded to four octyl groups and a chloride ion, which contributes to its ionic character. Safety precautions should be observed when handling TOAC, as with many quaternary ammonium compounds, due to potential irritant effects.

Tetraoctyl ammoniumchloride

CAS: 3125-07-3

Tetraoctyl ammoniumchloride is an inexpensive chemical that has a high affinity for membranes. It is a cationic surfactant with a structure of four octyl chains, each containing an amine group. Tetraoctyl ammoniumchloride has been used to study the kinetics of ion transport in membranes and has been shown to be able to inhibit nitrate uptake by plant roots. This chemical also has light resistance properties and can be used to protect gold nanoparticles from degradation by light.
