Dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white solid

Uses

Dodecyltrimethylammonium Chloride is useful as a paint stripper, a foaming stabilizer, and a bactericidal lotion. It is used in coating, plastics, paints, rubber and ink production, as anti-static agent, catalyst.

Uses

Dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride belongs to quaternary ammonium salts,it is useful as paint strippers, foaming stabilizers, and bactericidal lotions.

General Description

Dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride is a cationic alkyltrimethylammonium chloride surfactant that can undergo micellization in aqueous solution. it is mainly used for the denaturation of proteins.

Purification Methods

Dissolve the chloride in MeOH, treat with active charcoal, filter and dry it in vacuo [Waldenburg J Phys Chem 88 1655 1984], or recrystallise it several times from 10% EtOH in acetone. It has also been repeatedly crystallised from EtOH/ether or MeOH. [Cella et al. J Am Chem Soc 74 2062 1952, Beilstein 4 IV 79.]
