Cyclohexyl Dimethyl Ethyl Ammonium Bromide
Cyclohexyl Dimethyl Ethyl Ammonium Bromide (CDMAB) is a quaternary ammonium salt, a white crystalline solid (or powder/solution) used as a phase transfer catalyst and surfactant in organic chemistry, helping water-insoluble compounds react, and acting in detergents, cosmetics, and as an ionic liquid, known for its stability and role in "green chemistry" applications like cellulose dissolution. It features a nitrogen atom bonded to a cyclohexyl, two methyl, and an ethyl group, balanced by a bromide ion, with applications extending to corrosion inhibition and DNA extraction.
