Methanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, methyl sulfate (1:1)

Description:

Methanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, methyl sulfate (1:1), commonly known as trimethylamine N-methyl sulfate, 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 a methyl sulfate anion. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid or a viscous liquid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, including as a surfactant, emulsifier, or in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. The presence of the methyl sulfate group imparts unique properties, such as enhanced solubility and reactivity. Trimethylamine N-methyl sulfate is often utilized in the production of personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and as a reagent in organic synthesis. However, it is essential to handle this compound with care, as quaternary ammonium compounds can exhibit toxicity and environmental persistence. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.
