Ethanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-2-[(1-oxotetradecyl)oxy]-, iodide (1:1)

Description:

Ethanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-2-[(1-oxotetradecyl)oxy]-, iodide (1:1), with the CAS number 72742-04-2, 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-chain fatty acid derivative, specifically a tetradecyl group, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties, while the trimethylammonium group imparts solubility in polar solvents. The iodide counterion enhances its stability and solubility in various solvents. Typically, quaternary ammonium compounds exhibit surfactant properties, making them useful in applications such as antimicrobial agents, emulsifiers, and in personal care products. The presence of the long hydrophobic chain can also influence its biological activity and interaction with cell membranes. Overall, this compound's unique structure allows it to function effectively in both industrial and pharmaceutical applications, although specific behavior and efficacy would depend on the context of use and formulation.
