3-Benzyl-1-dodecyl-2-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride(CAT: L042780) is a quaternary ammonium salt derived from imidazole, featuring a dodecyl (12-carbon) alkyl chain and a benzyl group. This compound is used in a variety of applications, including as an ionic liquid or surfactant, due to its amphiphilic nature. The long alkyl chain (dodecyl) provides hydrophobic properties, while the imidazolium core offers ionic interactions, making it useful in catalysis, electrochemistry, and as a phase-transfer agent. Additionally, its chloride counterion enhances its solubility in polar solvents, and the compound can be applied in the synthesis of functional materials and in pharmaceutical research, especially for facilitating organic transformations and improving reaction efficiency.
