Ethanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, iodide (1:1)

Description:
Ethanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, iodide (1:1), commonly known as trimethylammonium iodide, is a quaternary ammonium salt characterized by its cationic structure, where a nitrogen atom is bonded to three methyl groups and one ethyl group, along with an iodide anion. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to its ionic nature. It exhibits properties typical of quaternary ammonium compounds, including surface-active behavior and potential use as a phase transfer catalyst. The presence of the iodide ion contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various organic synthesis applications. Additionally, trimethylammonium iodide can serve as a precursor in the synthesis of other quaternary ammonium compounds and is often utilized in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving membrane transport and cellular interactions. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as quaternary ammonium compounds can be irritants and may pose environmental hazards.
