:1-Hexadecanaminium, N,N-diethyl-N-methyl-, chloride
Description:
1-Hexadecanaminium, N,N-diethyl-N-methyl-, chloride, commonly referred to as a quaternary ammonium compound, is characterized by its long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain, which consists of 16 carbon atoms, contributing to its surfactant properties. This compound features a positively charged nitrogen atom bonded to two ethyl groups and one methyl group, enhancing its solubility in both polar and nonpolar solvents. The chloride ion serves as the counterion, balancing the positive charge of the ammonium group. Typically, quaternary ammonium compounds like this one exhibit antimicrobial properties, making them useful in various applications, including disinfectants and fabric softeners. They are also known for their ability to reduce surface tension, which can be beneficial in formulations for personal care products and industrial applications. Additionally, due to the presence of a long alkyl chain, this compound may exhibit hydrophobic interactions, influencing its behavior in biological systems and its compatibility with other substances. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential toxicity, as with all chemical substances.
