:1-Dodecanaminium, 3-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethyl-, iodide
Description:
1-Dodecanaminium, 3-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethyl-, iodide, commonly referred to as a quaternary ammonium compound, is characterized by its long hydrophobic dodecyl chain and a positively charged nitrogen atom. This compound features a trimethylated nitrogen, which contributes to its surfactant properties, making it effective in reducing surface tension. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its solubility in polar solvents and may impart additional functionalities, such as antimicrobial activity. As an iodide salt, it is typically more soluble in water compared to its non-ionic counterparts. This compound is often utilized in various applications, including as a surfactant, emulsifier, or antimicrobial agent in personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and industrial formulations. Its quaternary structure allows it to interact with biological membranes, which can be beneficial in drug delivery systems. However, safety and environmental considerations are essential, as quaternary ammonium compounds can exhibit toxicity to aquatic life and may require careful handling and disposal.
