Trimethyloctylammonium bromide（Cat No.:I041489）is a quaternary ammonium salt with the chemical formula C8H17N(CH3)3Br. It consists of an octyl group (C8H17) bonded to a nitrogen atom, which is also connected to three methyl groups and a bromide anion (Br). This compound serves as a surfactant and a phase transfer catalyst, facilitating the transfer of ions or molecules between immiscible phases in chemical reactions. It is widely used in organic synthesis, emulsification processes, and as a reagent in laboratory and industrial applications, especially for modifying surfaces or improving solubility in nonpolar solvents.
