4,4'-Bipyridinium, 1-(4-bromobutyl)-1'-methyl-, dichloride

Description:

4,4'-Bipyridinium, 1-(4-bromobutyl)-1'-methyl-, dichloride is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its bipyridinium structure, which consists of two pyridine rings connected by a nitrogen atom. This compound features a 4-bromobutyl group and a methyl group attached to the nitrogen, contributing to its unique properties. It is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, which is indicative of its ionic nature due to the presence of the dichloride counterions. The bromobutyl moiety enhances its hydrophobic characteristics, potentially influencing its biological activity and interaction with membranes. This compound may exhibit antimicrobial properties and is of interest in various applications, including as a potential herbicide or in the development of ionic liquids. Safety data should be consulted, as quaternary ammonium compounds can be toxic and irritative. Proper handling and disposal procedures are essential when working with this substance in a laboratory setting.
