Benzyl(2-hydroxyethyl)dimethylammonium chloride

Description:
Benzyl(2-hydroxyethyl)dimethylammonium chloride, with the CAS number 7221-40-1, is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its cationic nature. This substance features a benzyl group and a hydroxyethyl moiety, contributing to its amphiphilic properties, which allow it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid or a viscous liquid, depending on its formulation and purity. The compound is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications. It is commonly used as a surfactant, antimicrobial agent, and in formulations for personal care products due to its ability to enhance skin feel and stability. Additionally, its quaternary ammonium structure imparts biocidal properties, making it effective against a range of microorganisms. However, as with many quaternary ammonium compounds, it is essential to handle it with care, as it can be irritating to skin and eyes. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this chemical.
