Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromid

It should be noted that Cypridina luciferin emits a fairly strong chemiluminescence in aqueous solutions in the presence of various lipids and surfactants, even in the complete absence of luciferase. The luminescence is especially conspicuous with cationic surfactants (such as hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide) and certain emulsion materials (such as egg yolk and mayonnaise). Certain metal ions (especially Fe2+) and peroxides can also cause luminescence of the luciferin. Therefore, great care must be taken in the detection of Cypridina luciferase in biological samples with Cypridina luciferin. 

A note on the assays of coelenterazine and luciferase activity. The methods for measuring coelenterazine and the corresponding luciferases are given in Appendix C5. Special attention must be paid to the fact that coelenterazine in aqueous buffer solutions spontaneously emits a low level of chemiluminescence in the absence of any luciferase, which is greatly enhanced by the presence of various substances, including egg yolk, BSA and various surfactants (especially, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide). Therefore, the utmost care must be taken in the detection and measurement of a low level of...

Micellar catalysis of azo coupling reactions was first studied by Poindexter and McKay (1972). They investigated the reaction of a 4-nitrobenzenediazonium salt with 2-naphthol-6-sulfonic and 2-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid in the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate or hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide. With both the anionic and cationic additives an inhibition (up to 15-fold) was observed. This result was to be expected on the basis of the principles of micellar catalysis, since the charges of the two reacting species are opposite. This is due to the fact that either of the reagents will, for electrostatic reasons, be excluded from the micelle. 

Acids such as sulfuric or nitric acids or bases such as sodium hydroxide may catalyze the hydrolysis of PET. It has been demonstrated that the rate of alkaline PET hydrolysis increases in the presence of quaternary ammonium compounds.26 27 Niu et al.26 reported an increase in the rate of alkaline PET degradation in the presence of dodecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride at 80°C. Polk et al.27 reported increases in the rate of sodium hydroxide depolymerization of PET in the presence of trioctylmethylammonium chloride, trioctyl-methylammonium bromide, and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide at 80° C. 

Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTMAB) was included in the investigation because it had been employed previously. The past success of HTMAB was attributed to its long-chain alkyl group. Mimicking a long polymer chain, the hexadecyl group probably aided in the solvation of PET.

The Diels-Alder reaction of methyl methacrylate with cyclopentadiene was studied [72] with solutions from three different regions of the pseudophase diagram for toluene, water and 2-propanol, in the absence and in the presence of surfactant [sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB)]. The composition of the three solutions (Table 6.11) corresponds to a W/O-fiE (A), a solution of small aggregates (B) and a normal ternary solution (C). The diastereoselectivity was practically constant in the absence and in the presence of surfactant a slight increase of endo adduct was observed in the C medium in the presence of surfactant. This suggests that the reaction probably occurs in the interphase and that the transition state has a similar environment in all three media. 

Nanoparticles of the semicondnctor titanium dioxide have also been spread as mono-layers [164]. Nanoparticles of TiOi were formed by the arrested hydrolysis of titanium iso-propoxide. A very small amount of water was mixed with a chloroform/isopropanol solution of titanium isopropoxide with the surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and a catalyst. The particles produced were 1.8-2.2 nm in diameter. The stabilized particles were spread as monolayers. Successive cycles of II-A isotherms exhibited smaller areas for the initial pressnre rise, attributed to dissolution of excess surfactant into the subphase. And BAM observation showed the solid state of the films at 50 mN m was featureless and bright collapse then appeared as a series of stripes across the image. The area per particle determined from the isotherms decreased when sols were subjected to a heat treatment prior to spreading. This effect was believed to arise from a modification to the particle surface that made surfactant adsorption less favorable. 

The geometry and surface chemistry of the dendrimer assemblies can be varied through the addition of surfactants. These dendrimer/surfactant aggregates can be tuned to template the formation of the different phases of calcium carbonate [40]. In combination with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), small spherical aggregates were formed that induce the formation of vaterite. Over a period of five days, the vaterite was transformed into calcite. The use of the negatively charged surfactant, sodium dodecylsulfonate (SDS), result-... 

Fractionation. The process by which components are extracted firm bacterial eells or from the medium in whieh the baeteria are grown and obtained in a purified form. The polysaccharide antigens of Neisseria meningitidis are separated from the bacterial cells by treatment with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and those of Streptococcus pneumoniae with ethanol. The purity of an extracted material may be improved by resolubilization in a suitable solvent and precipitation. After purification, a component may be dried to a powder, stored indefinitely and, as required, incorporated into a vaccine in precisely weighed amounts at the blending stage. 

MCM-41 spheres were prepared modifying the procedure reported by Grim et. al. [9], using n-hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (Ci6TMABr) as surfactant template. Reactant molar ratio was 1 TEOS 0,3 C TMABr 0,129 NH3 144 H20 58 EtOH with pH about 9. The surfactant (Ci6TMABr) was dissolved into the mixture of distilled water, NH3 and EtOH tetraethylorthosilicate ([C2H50]4Si, TEOS) was then added to the surfactant solution and stirred for 2 hours at room temperature.

Two molecules of carbon monoxide were successively incorporated into an epoxide in the presence of a cobalt catalyst and a phase transfer agent [29]. When styrene oxide was treated with carbon monoxide (0.1 MPa), excess methyl iodide, NaOH (0.50 M), and catalytic amounts of Co2(CO)8 and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide in benzene, 3-hydroxy-4-phenyl-2(5H)-furanone was produced in 65% yield (Scheme 7). A possible reaction mechanism was proposed as shown in Scheme 8 Addition of an in situ... 

Surface Water. In a laboratory aquaria containing estuarine water, 43% of dissolved carbaryl was converted to 1-naphthol in 17 d at 20 °C (pH 7.5-8.1). The half life of carbaryl in estuarine water without mud at 8 °C was 38 d. When mud was present, both carbaryl and 1-naphthol decreased to <10% in the estuarine water after 10 d. Based on a total recovery of only 40%, it was postulated that the remainder was evolved as methane (Karinen et al, 1967). The rate of hydrolysis of carbaryl increased with an increase in temperature (Karinen et al., 1967) and in increases of pH values greater than 7.0 (Rajagopal et al, 1984). The presence of a micelle [hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDATB), 3 x 10 M] in natural waters greatly enhanced the hydrolysis rate. The hydrolysis half-lives in natural water samples with and without HDATB were 0.12-0.67 and 9.7-138.6 h, respectively (Gonzalez et al, 1992). In a sterilized buffer solution, a hydrolysis half-life of 87 h was observed (Ferreira and Seiber, 1981). In the dark. 

The cationic surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA) induced dispersion of goethite in a column of material from a surface soil and a aquifer substrate, possibly because the HDTMA reduced the negative charge of the clay particles and thereby desorbed the goethite (Seaman and Bertsch, 2000).

It is noteworthy that the indenyl complex RuCl(ri -C9H7)(PPh3)2l4 provides an efficient catalyst precursor for the anti-Markovnikov hydration of terminal alkynes in aqueous media, especially in micellar solutions with either anionic (sodium dode-cylsulfate (SDS)) or cationic (hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)) surfactants [38]. This system can be applied to the hydration of propargylic alcohols to selectively produce P-hydroxyaldehydes, whereas RuCl(Cp)(PMe3)2 gives a,P-unsat-urated aldehydes (the Meyer Schuster rearrangement products)(Scheme 10.8) [39]. 

An interesting example of extension of the size of micelles is provided by the system composed of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide acting as a surfactant, to which n-alkane acting as solubilizing agent was added [29].
