Description

1-Tetradecylquinolinium Bromide is a quaternary ammonium salt with a long hydrophobic alkyl chain, making it a versatile cationic surfactant and phase-transfer catalyst. This compound matters for its ability to facilitate reactions in biphasic systems and modify surface properties in various formulations. It is needed by industries involved in specialty chemical synthesis, materials science, and as a potential intermediate for antimicrobial agents or ionic liquids.

Application

• Phase-Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Used to accelerate reactions between reagents in immiscible solvents, particularly in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Cationic Surfactant: Employed in formulations requiring positive surface charge modification, such as in certain emulsifiers, dispersants, or fabric softeners.
• Antimicrobial Agent Intermediate: Serves as a precursor or active component in the development of quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) based biocides and disinfectants.
• Ionic Liquid Synthesis: Acts as a key starting material for creating tailored ionic liquids with specific hydrophobic and catalytic properties.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Used in additive packages for industrial fluids to protect metal surfaces by forming a protective film.
• Analytical Chemistry: Can be utilized as an ion-pairing agent in chromatographic techniques like HPLC for separating complex mixtures.

Quality Control

Our 1-Tetradecylquinolinium Bromide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided and available upon request, supporting compliance with relevant industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
