Benzyldimethyl[3-[(1-oxotetradecyl)amino]propyl]ammonium chloride is a long-chain quaternary ammonium compound containing a benzyl-dimethyl ammonium center and a tetradecanoyl-containing amide chain.
Its practical use is in amphiphile, surfactant and formulation research, not peptide chain assembly. The permanent cationic charge and long hydrophobic chain create the central physicochemical behavior of the molecule.

Application Scope in Amphiphile Research
The combination of a permanent quaternary ammonium cation and long alkyl-derived chain makes this material relevant to membrane-model, surfactant, adsorption and formulation studies. Experimental behavior will depend strongly on concentration, ionic strength and the surrounding matrix.
Physicochemical Considerations
Unlike a peptide building block, this compound does not rely on temporary protecting groups or peptide-bond formation. Solubility, micellization/aggregation and surface activity are more relevant route variables than SPPS coupling efficiency.
Procurement and QC
Confirm CAS 15809-19-5, C26H47ClN2O and MW 439.13 g/mol. For amphiphile studies, assay, water content and counterion identity can materially affect concentration calculations.
Specify the intended solution system and analytical requirement when requesting larger quantities or custom specifications.
