:1-Hexadecanaminium, N-butyl-N,N-dimethyl-, chloride
Description:
1-Hexadecanaminium, 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 a hexadecane backbone, which contributes to its lipophilic properties, making it soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. The presence of the butyl and dimethyl groups on the nitrogen atom enhances its surfactant properties, allowing it to interact with both polar and nonpolar substances. As a quaternary ammonium salt, it typically exhibits antimicrobial and antibacterial activity, making it useful in various applications, including disinfectants and preservatives. Its chloride counterion contributes to its stability and solubility in aqueous solutions. Additionally, this compound may exhibit surface-active properties, making it valuable in formulations for personal care products, detergents, and industrial applications. Safety data should be consulted, as quaternary ammonium compounds can pose health risks if not handled properly.
