1-Tetradecyl-3-methylimidazolium Bromide

Product Overview

1-Tetradecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide is a high-purity imidazolium-type ionic liquid featuring a long alkyl chain (tetradecyl) at the N1 position and a methyl group at the N3 position. With a molecular formula of C18H35N2Br and a molecular weight of 359.39 g/mol, this compound exhibits excellent thermal stability and tunable physicochemical properties, making it a valuable specialty chemical in research and industrial applications.

Specifications

Industrial Applications

As a specialty ionic liquid, 1-tetradecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide serves primarily as a versatile reaction medium or catalyst support in organic synthesis, electrochemistry, and materials science. Its amphiphilic nature—combining a hydrophobic tetradecyl chain with a polar imidazolium head—enables unique solvation behavior for biphasic catalysis, extraction processes, and nanomaterial templating.

• Used in green chemistry protocols as a recyclable, non-volatile solvent alternative to traditional volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• Functions as a phase-transfer catalyst or stabilizer in nanoparticle synthesis.
• Serves as a building block for designing task-specific ionic liquids with tailored functionality.
