1-Propanaminium,N,N,N-trimethyl-2-oxo-, chloride (1:1)

Description:

1-Propanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-2-oxo-, chloride (1:1), with the CAS number 54541-46-7, is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its cationic nature due to the presence of a positively charged nitrogen atom. This compound features a trimethylated nitrogen, which contributes to its solubility in polar solvents, particularly water. The "2-oxo" designation indicates the presence of a carbonyl group adjacent to the nitrogen, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. As a chloride salt, it exists in a stable ionic form, making it useful in various applications, including as a surfactant or in formulations requiring antimicrobial properties. Its cationic nature allows it to interact with negatively charged surfaces, enhancing its utility in biological and industrial contexts. Additionally, the compound's stability and solubility characteristics make it suitable for use in pharmaceuticals and personal care products, where it may serve as a conditioning agent or preservative. Overall, its unique structural features contribute to its diverse functional applications.
