Description:

1-Propanaminium, 3-carboxy-N,N,N-trimethyl-2-[(1-oxododecyl)oxy]-, chloride (1:1), with CAS number 7023-03-2, is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its cationic nature due to the presence of a positively charged nitrogen atom. This compound features a long hydrophobic alkyl chain derived from dodecanoyl, which contributes to its surfactant properties, making it effective in reducing surface tension. The presence of a carboxylic acid group enhances its solubility in water and its ability to interact with various biological membranes. As a chloride salt, it is typically stable under standard conditions but may exhibit varying solubility depending on the solvent used. Its trimethylammonium group imparts antimicrobial properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a biocide or preservative. Additionally, the compound's structure suggests potential uses in formulations for personal care products, detergents, and as an emulsifying agent in food and pharmaceuticals. However, safety and environmental impact assessments are essential for its application due to the potential toxicity associated with quaternary ammonium compounds.
