Description

2-(Heptadeca-8,11,14-Trienyl)-4,5-Dihydro-1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-1H-Imidazolium Acetate is a specialized ionic liquid compound with a unique amphiphilic structure, combining a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid derivative with an imidazolium cation. This molecular architecture makes it a valuable intermediate and functional material for advanced chemical synthesis and formulation. It is particularly relevant for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, specialty surfactant, and advanced materials sectors seeking novel ionic properties or biocompatible cationic components.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) or prodrugs, particularly those targeting lipid-based delivery systems.
• Specialty Surfactant / Emulsifier: Functions as a cationic surfactant or co-emulsifier in personal care, cosmetic, and industrial formulations due to its amphiphilic nature.
• Ionic Liquid Research: Serves as a key component in the development of task-specific ionic liquids for green chemistry applications, catalysis, or extraction processes.
• Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) Formulation: Investigated as a cationic lipid or helper lipid component in the formulation of LNPs for nucleic acid (e.g., mRNA, siRNA) delivery.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Potential application as a film-forming corrosion inhibitor for metals in specific industrial environments.
• Chemical Biology Probe: Utilized in research to study membrane interactions, cellular uptake, or as a building block for fluorescent or tagged biomolecules.
