Name Benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide Description Benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide is a quaternary ammonium compound, commonly used as a strong base (alkali) and phase transfer catalyst in various chemical reactions. Benefits Antiseptic properties. Considerations • Quaternary Ammonium Compound This chemical is in a class of chemicals called quaternary ammonium compounds, or quats as they are called for short. Quats have been found in some studies to be toxic to mitochondria in our body's cells. • Possible Endocrine Disruptor Quats have also been found to disrupt hormones, especially estrogen.
• Contamination Concerns
There is some data to suggest that quaternary ammonium compounds can release carcinogenic nitrosamines under certain conditions. Synonyms N,N,N-Trimethyl-1-phenylmethanaminium hydroxide
