Overview

Acetic acid;2-dodecylguanidine (CAS 2439-10-3) is a guanidine derivative compound with antimicrobial properties and moderate toxicity profile. This chemical compound represents a combination of acetic acid with 2-dodecylguanidine, forming a salt that exhibits distinctive biocidal characteristics. With the molecular formula C15H33N3O2 and a molecular weight of 287.44 g/mol, this substance belongs to the class of alkylguanidine compounds known for their antimicrobial efficacy. The dodecyl chain provides lipophilic properties that enhance membrane interaction, while the guanidine moiety contributes to the compound's biological activity. The safety profile of acetic acid;2-dodecylguanidine requires careful handling protocols due to its classification under several hazard categories. It presents acute toxicity concerns (Acute Tox. 4), causes skin and eye irritation (Skin Irrit. 2, Eye Irrit. 2), and poses significant environmental risks to aquatic organisms with both acute and chronic toxicity (Aquatic Acute 1, Aquatic Chronic 1). The compound carries a Warning signal word and is associated with GHS07 and GHS09 pictograms, indicating health hazards and environmental dangers respectively. Its ADR classification as Class 9 designates it as a miscellaneous dangerous substance for transportation purposes. Industrial applications primarily focus on antimicrobial formulations, including disinfectants and preservative systems where controlled biocidal activity is required. The compound also finds use in specialized cleaning formulations and as an active ingredient in certain industrial biocides. Unlike more aggressive biocides such as 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, this guanidine derivative offers a more controlled antimicrobial profile suitable for specific applications. OYSI provides reliable access to acetic acid;2-dodecylguanidine for European industrial customers requiring this specialized antimicrobial compound.
