| [Definition]
ChEBI: The organic bromide salt that is the bromide salt of cetyltrimethylammonium; one of the components of the topical antiseptic cetrimide. | [General Description]
Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide is a titrant for the potentiometric titration of perchlorate with ionselective electrodes. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide also called cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), is a cationic surfactant. CTAB is employed for extraction of DNA. CTAB method is efficient, cost and time effective for DNA extraction. CTAB is used as a shaping material and reducing agent for nanoparticle generation. | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise it from EtOH, EtOH/*benzene or from wet acetone after extracting twice with pet ether. Shake it with anhydrous diethyl ether, filter and dissolve it in a little hot MeOH. After cooling in the refrigerator, the precipitate is filtered off at room temperature and re-dissolved in MeOH. Anhydrous ether is added and, after warming to obtain a clear solution, it is cooled and the crystalline material is collected. [Dearden & Wooley J Phys Chem 91 2404 1987, Hakemi et al.
