Chemical Structure

Basic Info
Benzhylethylammonium chloride (BTEAC) is a quaternary ammonium salt compound.
Benzhylethylammonium chloride is commonly used as a chlorinating agent and participates in alkylation reactions in organic synthesis. It can convert alcohols, phenols and other substances into corresponding alkylated products, and is also commonly used as a catalyst in esterification, etherification, dehydration and other reactions.
Triethylammonium Chloride and Benzyl Chloride are usually combined to produce Benzhylethylammonium. Triethylammonium and benzyl halides are mixed and then reacted in a solvent such as dimethylformamide or ethanol. During the reaction, a nucleophilic substitution reaction occurs to form benzyltriethylammonium chloride.After the reaction, the product is obtained through cooling, crystallization, and other methods.
It is worth noting that Benziltriethylammonium chloride is a compound with irritants and corrosives, and safety precautions should be taken when using it. In the laboratory, personal protective equipment such as goggles and gloves should be worn, and operations should be carried out under well ventilated conditions.
Benzhylethylammonium chloride is an organic compound. It is a colorless to light yellow solid with a strong ammonia odor at room temperature.
Benzhylethylammonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt compound with a positive charge, mainly used as a quaternary ammonium salt surfactant and ion exchanger. It is readily soluble in water, and is used for preparing ion-exchange resins. It can be used to make blood gel reagents and pesticides.
In chemical reactions, Benziltriethylammonium chloride can react with some anions to form precipitates or salts. It can react to form triethoxybenzylamine with sodium hydroxide and with hydrogen bromide.

Product Packaging

Benzyltrimethylammonium chloride (BTMA or BTEAC) is an organic ammonium chloride compound, belonging to quaternary ammonium salts, widely used in various fields, especially in chemistry and biology. The following is a detailed introduction to the uses of benzyl triethylammonium chloride:
1. Surfactants
Benzyltriethylammonium chloride is a compound with cationic surface activity, therefore it is widely used in many surfactant products. The hydrophilic ammonium chloride portion binds with the hydrophobic benzyl portion, which can alter the surface tension of the liquid.
Application example: It can be used in detergents, cleaning agents, anti-static agents and other products to help clean oil stains by changing the surface tension of water, and has a certain antibacterial effect.
2. Antibacterial agentsBenzyltriethylammonium chloride, as a quaternary ammonium salt compound, has excellent antibacterial properties. It is used to make personal care products that have cleaning and care functions.
Antibacterial mechanism: Benzyltriethylammonium chloride interferes with the integrity of bacterial cell membranes, disrupts intracellular metabolic processes, and leads to cell death. It is primarily effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. However, it also inhibits fungi.
3. Antistatic agent
Due to its cationic property, benzyltriethylammonium can neutralize negative surface charges. This makes it widely used for the preparation of antistatic agents. Static electricity can cause damage to plastics, textiles and electronic devices. Benzyl triethylammonium chlorine can reduce static electricity.
Application example: In textiles, as an anti-static agent, clothes are less likely to adsorb dust and maintain cleanliness; In the electronics industry, it is used to protect sensitive components from electrostatic damage.
4. Catalyst
Benzyltriethylammonium chloride is used as a catalyst or catalytic aid in certain organic reactions. Due to its cationic properties, it can promote proton transfer or charge distribution in certain reactions, especially in organic synthesis reactions.
Application examples: It has certain application value in certain ionic liquid catalytic reactions, esterification reactions, and olefin polymerization reactions.
5. Ion exchange agentAs a quaternary ammonium salt, benzyltriethylammonium chloride can act as an ion exchanger in certain water treatment and separation processes. In some separation techniques, benzyltriethylammonium chloride is used as an ion exchange material to remove certain metal ions or other harmful substances from water.
Uses: Used in wastewater treatment and water treatment systems to remove pollutants or impurities from water.
6. Medical Use
Benzyltriethylammonium chloride can also be used in drug delivery systems. It is used in some drug carriers as an ion-exchanger or carrier to improve the absorption of drugs by the body. It is also used in some oral and topical medicines as a surfactant, or antibacterial component.
Example of application: It is used in some drug formulations as a surfactant or solubilizer to improve the solubility.
