N-Dodecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammoniopropanesulfonate is a zwitterionic surfactant synthesized via the quaternization of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropane sulfonate with dodecyldimethylamine. This reaction yields a molecule with excellent biocompatibility and low irritation, characterized by the molecular formula C17H36NO4S and CAS number 14508-90-6.
Store in cool, dry conditions away from strong oxidizers. While generally safe, avoid prolonged skin contact during handling; wear appropriate PPE including gloves and safety goggles to prevent minor irritation.
