Ethanaminium,N,N,N-trimethyl-2-[(methylsulfonyl)thio]-, bromide (1:1)

Description:

Ethanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-2-[(methylsulfonyl)thio]-, bromide (1:1), with CAS number 91774-25-3, is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its cationic nature due to the presence of a positively charged nitrogen atom. This compound features a trimethylated amine structure, which contributes to its solubility in polar solvents, and a methylsulfonylthio group that enhances its reactivity and potential applications in various chemical processes. The bromide ion serves as a counterion, stabilizing the cationic form of the molecule. Typically, quaternary ammonium compounds exhibit surfactant properties, making them useful in formulations for disinfectants, emulsifiers, and phase transfer catalysts. Additionally, the presence of the methylsulfonylthio group may impart unique biological activities, potentially influencing its use in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Overall, this compound's characteristics suggest versatility in both industrial and research applications, particularly in fields requiring cationic agents.
