Erläuterungen zum Harmonisierten System (HS) Quartäre organische Ammoniumsalze enthalten ein tetravalentes Stickstoffkation R1R2R3R4N+, wobei R1, R2, R3 und R4 gleiche oder verschiedene Alkyl- oder Arylradikale (Methyl-, Ethyl-, Tolyl-, usw.) sein können. Dieses Kation kann mit dem Hydroxidion (OH–) verbunden sein, wobei ein quartäres Ammoniumhydroxid mit der allgemeinen Formel R4N+OH– entsteht, das seinem anorganischen Äquivalent, dem Ammoniumhydroxid NH4OH, entspricht. Man kann jedoch auch mit anderen Anionen absättigen (Chlor, Brom, Iod usw.) und man erhält dann die quartären Ammoniumsalze. Die wichtigsten Salze und Substitutionsderivate von quartären Ammoniumbasen sind: 1) Cholin, dessen Salze und Derivate. Cholin ist ein Hydroxyethyltrimethylammoniumhydroxid und findet sich in der Galle, im Gehirn, im Eigelb und in allen frischen Keimen. …
