:1-Octadecanaminium, N-butyl-N,N-dimethyl-, chloride
Description:
1-Octadecanaminium, N-butyl-N,N-dimethyl-, chloride, commonly referred to as a quaternary ammonium compound, is characterized by its long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain and a positively charged nitrogen atom. This compound features an 18-carbon alkyl chain (octadecane) attached to a nitrogen that is further substituted with two methyl groups and a butyl group, contributing to its amphiphilic nature. As a quaternary ammonium salt, it is typically soluble in polar solvents and exhibits surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications such as emulsifiers, disinfectants, and in personal care products. The chloride ion serves as the counterion, enhancing its solubility in aqueous solutions. Its structure allows for interactions with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments, which is beneficial in formulations requiring stabilization of emulsions or dispersions. Additionally, this compound may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it relevant in biocidal applications. Safety and handling precautions are essential due to its potential irritant effects and environmental considerations associated with quaternary ammonium compounds.
