1-Eicosanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, bromide (1:1)

Description:

1-Eicosanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, bromide (1:1), commonly referred to as trimethyl-1-eicosanaminium bromide, is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain and a positively charged nitrogen atom. This compound typically features a 20-carbon eicosyl chain, which contributes to its surfactant properties, making it effective in various applications, including as a cationic surfactant and antimicrobial agent. The trimethyl groups attached to the nitrogen enhance its solubility in polar solvents while maintaining hydrophobic characteristics due to the long alkyl chain. As a bromide salt, it is generally soluble in water and can form stable dispersions. Its quaternary ammonium structure allows it to interact with negatively charged surfaces, making it useful in formulations for personal care products, disinfectants, and as a phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that, like many quaternary ammonium compounds, it may pose risks of irritation to skin and eyes, necessitating careful handling in laboratory and industrial settings.
