Benzyltrimethylammonium chloride (Cat No.:R070123) is a quaternary ammonium salt with the formula C10H16ClN, typically supplied as an aqueous solution at various concentrations (x% in water). It appears as a clear to slightly yellow liquid and is used as a phase-transfer catalyst in organic synthesis, aiding the migration of reactants between immiscible phases. BTMAC also finds application in textile treatment, water purification, and as an antistatic or disinfectant agent. Its strong cationic nature enables interactions with negatively charged surfaces, making it valuable in chemical processes and industrial formulations requiring ionic exchange or surface modification.
