Description

1-Dodecyl-3-Hydroxyquinuclidinium Bromide is a quaternary ammonium salt with a unique amphiphilic structure, combining a long hydrophobic alkyl chain with a hydrophilic, rigid quinuclidinium head group. This compound is valued for its potent surfactant and antimicrobial properties, making it a critical functional intermediate in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for the synthesis of biocides, phase-transfer catalysts, and novel ionic liquids.

Application

• Antimicrobial Agent Synthesis: A key precursor for manufacturing quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) based disinfectants, sanitizers, and preservatives.
• Phase-Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible phases, particularly useful in organic synthesis and polymer chemistry.
• Specialty Surfactant Intermediate: Used to create cationic surfactants for hair conditioners, fabric softeners, and industrial emulsifiers.
• Ionic Liquid Component: Serves as a building block for designing task-specific ionic liquids with tailored properties for extraction and catalysis.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide products to enhance stability and efficacy on plant surfaces.
• Corrosion Inhibition: Used in research and development of corrosion inhibitors for industrial water treatment systems.

Quality Control

Our 1-Dodecyl-3-Hydroxyquinuclidinium Bromide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets precise specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality attributes are available upon request to support your regulatory and R&D needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
