Description

1-Benzyl-4,5-Dihydro-1-[2-[(1-Oxotetradecyl)Amino]Ethyl]-2-Tridecyl-1H-Imidazolium Chloride is a high-purity, specialty quaternary ammonium salt with a complex cationic structure, offering unique surface-active and antimicrobial properties. This compound is valued for its ability to impart cationic functionality and act as a potent phase-transfer catalyst or biocide in demanding formulations. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty surfactant industries for synthesizing advanced intermediates and developing high-performance formulations.

Application

• Phase-Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible phases, particularly useful in alkylation, esterification, and polymerization processes.
• Antimicrobial Agent: Serves as an active ingredient or preservative in industrial biocides, disinfectants, and antimicrobial coatings due to its quaternary ammonium structure.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier: Functions as a cationic surfactant in specialty formulations for cosmetics, hair conditioners, and fabric softeners.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of more complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring imidazolium-based ionic liquid properties.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Applied in industrial cooling water systems and oilfield chemicals to protect metal surfaces.
• Textile Auxiliary: Acts as a softening agent, antistatic agent, or dye-fixing agent in textile processing.
• Research Chemical: Employed in academic and industrial laboratories for studying ionic liquids, green chemistry, and novel catalytic systems.
