CAS 3779-42-8: 1-Propanaminium, 3-bromo-N,N,N-trimethyl-, bromide (1:1)
Description:1-Propanaminium, 3-bromo-N,N,N-trimethyl-, bromide (1:1), commonly referred to as a quaternary ammonium compound, is characterized by its cationic nature due to the presence of a positively charged nitrogen atom bonded to three methyl groups and a propyl group. This structure imparts surfactant properties, making it effective in various applications, including as a biocide, disinfectant, or in formulations for personal care products. The bromide ion serves as the counterion, contributing to the compound's solubility in polar solvents. Typically, quaternary ammonium compounds exhibit antimicrobial activity, which can be attributed to their ability to disrupt microbial cell membranes. Additionally, they are often stable under a range of pH conditions and can be used in both aqueous and non-aqueous environments. However, their environmental persistence and potential toxicity to aquatic life are considerations in their use. Overall, this compound's unique structure and properties make it valuable in industrial and consumer applications, while also necessitating careful handling and assessment of its environmental impact.
