CAS 4207-56-1: Benzenaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, (tribromide) (1:1)
Description:Benzenaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, (tribromide) (1:1), commonly referred to as trimethylbenzylammonium tribromide, is a quaternary ammonium salt characterized by its cationic structure derived from trimethylbenzylamine and three bromide ions. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to its ionic nature. It exhibits hygroscopic properties, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. The presence of bromide ions suggests potential applications in organic synthesis, particularly as a brominating agent. Additionally, due to its quaternary ammonium structure, it may possess surfactant properties, making it useful in various formulations. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as quaternary ammonium compounds can be irritants and may pose environmental hazards. Overall, trimethylbenzylammonium tribromide is a versatile compound with applications in both chemical synthesis and industrial processes.
