Product Information

• Name: Allyltrimethylammonium chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Allyltrimethylammonium chloride is a compound with the chemical formula CH2=C(CH3)2-N+Cl−. It is synthesized by the reaction of allyl bromide and trimethylamine. Allyltrimethylammonium chloride is a colorless liquid that is soluble in water and organic solvents. It is used as a polymerization catalyst in styrene production, as an accelerator for vulcanization reactions, and as an acid catalyst in organic reactions such as the esterification of glyoxylate with vinyl alcohol to produce vinyl acetate. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used to study the dynamics of this compound's skeleton, which consists of a benzene ring substituted with three methyl groups.
