Ethanaminium, N,N-diethyl-2-hydroxy-N-methyl-, bromide (1:1)

Description:
Ethanaminium, N,N-diethyl-2-hydroxy-N-methyl-, 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. This compound features a diethyl and a methyl group attached to the nitrogen, along with a hydroxy group on the ethyl chain, which contributes to its solubility in polar solvents. The bromide ion serves as the counterion, balancing the positive charge of the ammonium group. Typically, such compounds exhibit surfactant properties, making them useful in various applications, including as disinfectants, emulsifiers, and in pharmaceutical formulations. They may also demonstrate antimicrobial activity due to their ability to disrupt microbial cell membranes. The presence of the hydroxy group can enhance hydrogen bonding capabilities, influencing the compound's reactivity and interaction with biological systems. Overall, this substance is notable for its versatility in both industrial and laboratory settings, although safety and handling precautions are essential due to its cationic nature.
