Dihexadecyldimethylammonium Bromide (D1621-Br/DHDMAB)
CAS 70755-47-4
Dihexadecyldimethylammonium Bromide (CAS 70755-47-4) is a high-purity quaternary ammonium compound featuring a double long-chain C16 alkyl structure, presenting as a white crystalline powder with excellent thermal stability and a melting point of 159-162°C. This versatile cationic surfactant serves as a highly efficient phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis, facilitating reactions such as alkylations and polymerizations by enabling reactant transfer between immiscible phases. In biomedical applications, it functions as a key cationic lipid component for non-viral gene transfection and drug delivery systems, forming lipoplexes that protect and deliver nucleic acids into cells, while also serving as an effective cell lysis reagent in diagnostic kits. Additionally, it is widely employed as an industrial emulsifier, biocide, and antistatic agent in water treatment, cosmetic formulations, coating technologies, and material surface modification, ensuring consistent performance across pharmaceutical, chemical manufacturing, and biotechnology sectors.
