Methanaminium, N-(heptadecyloxy)-N,N-dimethyl-, chloride

Description:
Methanaminium, N-(heptadecyloxy)-N,N-dimethyl-, chloride, also known by its CAS number 88599-16-0, is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its long hydrophobic heptadecyl chain and two dimethyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom. This structure imparts both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, making it amphiphilic. The presence of the chloride ion indicates that it is a quaternary ammonium salt. Such compounds are often used as surfactants, emulsifiers, or antimicrobial agents due to their ability to interact with both water and lipid phases. The long alkyl chain enhances its surface activity and can influence its solubility and stability in various formulations. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biocidal properties, making it useful in disinfectants and preservatives. However, the environmental impact and potential toxicity of quaternary ammonium compounds should be considered in their application. Overall, Methanaminium, N-(heptadecyloxy)-N,N-dimethyl-, chloride is notable for its unique structural features that facilitate diverse applications in chemical and industrial processes.
