Description

6-(N,N,n-Trimethylammonio)Hexyl Bromide CAS NO 191086-27-8 is a versatile quaternary ammonium salt with a reactive bromohexyl chain, serving as a critical intermediate for the synthesis of functionalized materials. Its primary value lies in its ability to introduce a permanent cationic charge and a flexible spacer arm onto target molecules, enabling applications in surface modification and biomolecule conjugation. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, polymer chemistry, and materials science sectors.

Application

• Bioconjugation Reagent: Used to permanently attach cationic groups to proteins, peptides, or nucleic acids for altering solubility, stability, or cellular uptake.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a monomer or grafting agent for synthesizing cationic polymers with antimicrobial or gene delivery properties.
• Surface Functionalization: Employed to create positively charged surfaces on glass, silica, or polymers for enhanced cell adhesion or anti-fouling coatings.
• Phase Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible phases due to its amphiphilic quaternary ammonium structure.
• Lipid Synthesis: Serves as a key building block for creating cationic lipids used in liposome formulations for drug and gene delivery (lipofection).
• Chemical Research Intermediate: A valuable starting material for organic synthesis to create more complex quaternary ammonium compounds and ionic liquids.
