The crystal structure of the title compound, C(11)H(18)N(+)·Br(-), has been determined as part of an ongoing study of the influence of the alkyl chain length on amphiphilic activity of quaternary ammonium salts. The title salt forms a three-dimensional network of ionic contacts through weak C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, with donor-acceptor distances in the range 3.757 (2)-3.959 (2) Å, in which methyl ...

Tests to determine the potential use of a quaternary ammonium resin-triiodide complex as a sterilizing agent showed that it was an ineffective sporicide and that bactericidal activity was impaired by complex milieu.

(RS)-(±)-2-Methoxy-carbonyl-3-tropinone is an important inter-mediate for the preparation of cocaine and its derivatives. The molecule in the title compound, C(10)H(16)NO(3) (+)·C(4)H(5)O(6) (-), is present as the enol tautomer. The six-membered ring adopts a half boat conformation, and the five-membered ring a slightly distorted envelope conformation. There are intra- and inter-molecular hydro...

The effects of a quaternary ammonium compound, ditallowdimethylammonium chloride (DTDMAC), on natural populations of bacteria and phytoplankton from the lower River Rhine were examined to estimate their sensitivity to the discharges of cationic surfactants in the river basin. In short-term experiments, significant decreases in the growth rate of bacterioplankton and in the photosynthetic rate o...

Eight quaternary ammonium compounds were tested for their ability to induce contact dermatitis in guinea pigs by using a modified Freund's complete adjuvant test together with the guinea pig maximization test. Only two quaternary ammonium salts of the eight tested could be designated as strong allergens. These two active substances were shown to be capable of stable association with membrane li...

In the crystals of the title N-halo-methyl-ated quaternary ammonium salts, C19H23IN(+)·I(-), (I) [systematic name: N-(4,4-di-phenyl-but-3-en-1-yl)-N-iodo-methyl-N,N-di-methyl-ammonium iodide], C20H25IN(+)·I(-), (II) [systematic name: N-(5,5-di-phenyl-pent-4-en-1-yl)-N-iodo-methyl-N,N-di-methyl-ammonium iodide], and C21H27IN(+)·I(-), (III) [systematic name: N-(6,6-di-phenyl-hex-5-en-1-yl)-N-iodo...

The aim of this study was to develop a derivative of chitosan as pharmaceutical excipient used in sustained-release matrix tablets of poorly soluble drugs. A water-soluble quaternary ammonium carboxymethylchitosan was synthesized by a two-step reaction with carboxymethylchitosan (CMCTS), decylalkyl dimethyl ammonium and epichlorohydrin. The elemental analysis showed that the target product with...

Two series of rosin quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) were synthesized using the same path. The structure of the target products was characterized by HPLC, MS, IR, and 1 HNMR, and the bioactivity was determined by filter paper method using Trametes versicolor (white-rot fungus) and Gloeophyllum trabeum (brown-rot fungus), which are two kinds of general wood decay fungi in nature. The results show...
