2-ethoxy-N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium

Description:

2-Ethoxy-N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium, with the CAS number 6343-89-1, is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its cationic nature due to the presence of a positively charged nitrogen atom bonded to three methyl groups and an ethoxy group. This compound typically exhibits good solubility in polar solvents, such as water and alcohols, owing to its ionic character. It is often used in various applications, including as a surfactant, antimicrobial agent, or in formulations for personal care products due to its ability to interact with biological membranes. The presence of the ethoxy group contributes to its hydrophilicity, enhancing its compatibility with other ingredients in formulations. Additionally, quaternary ammonium compounds like this one are known for their stability and resistance to degradation, making them suitable for long-term use in various industrial and consumer applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential toxicity, as quaternary ammonium compounds can exhibit irritant properties.
