white powder | [Uses]
(Di-n-dodecyl)dimethylammonium bromide is used as a phase transfer catalyst. It is also used as floor disinfectant. Further, it acts as surface-active agent. | [Uses]
Didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) is a double-chain cationic surfactant.
Possible applications:
- DDAB can be employed as a co-surfactant to synthesize well-defined multilamellar vesicular silica with an adjustable number of layers.
- As a surfactant to synthesize gold nanoclusters and nanocubes.
- It forms supersaturated reverse micelles and microemulsions that act as organized reaction microenvironments for the synthesis of barium sulfate.
- Calcium montmorillonite can be modified by DDAB through direct ion-exchange to synthesize thermally stable organoclay.
| [Purification Methods]
Recrystallise the salt from acetone, acetone/ether mixture, then from ethyl acetate, wash with ether and dry it in a vacuum oven at 60o [Chen et al. J Phys Chem 88 1631 1984, Rupert et al. J Am Chem Soc 107 2628 1985, Halpern et al. J Am Chem Soc 108 3920 1986, Allen et al. J Phys Chem 91 2320 1987]. [Beilstein 4 IV 801.] |
