CAS 88477-53-6
:Pyridinium, 2,4-dimethyl-1-octadecyl-, iodide
Description:
Pyridinium, 2,4-dimethyl-1-octadecyl-, iodide, with the CAS number 88477-53-6, is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its long hydrophobic alkyl chain and a positively charged pyridinium ring. This structure imparts surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a phase transfer catalyst and in the formulation of emulsifiers. The presence of the iodide ion contributes to its solubility in polar solvents while maintaining hydrophobic characteristics due to the octadecyl chain. This compound is typically stable under standard conditions but may undergo hydrolysis or degradation when exposed to extreme pH or high temperatures. Its biological activity can vary, with potential applications in antimicrobial formulations due to its cationic nature, which can disrupt microbial membranes. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as quaternary ammonium compounds can be irritants and may pose environmental risks. Overall, this compound exemplifies the balance between hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions, making it valuable in both industrial and research settings.
