  The MSDS HyperGlossary: Amine
Because quaternary ammonium salts are ionic species, they are good electrolytes.
Quaternary amine salts may produce acidic, basic or neutral solutions depending on the nature of the R groups and the anion (negatively charged ion).
Many amines are somewhat soluble in water (and most ammonium salts are), so be sure that any aqueous wastes you dispose of down the drain meet the appropriate EPA guidelines.

 1-Hydrocarbonoyloxymethyl-3-carbamoyl or 3-carboethoxy-pyridinium salts
More particularly, the present invention extends to certain transient derivatives which could be characterized chemically as labile quaternary ammonium salts which exhibit extreme solubility and which protect its components (i.e., tertiary amine, aldehyde and carboxylic acid against oxidation, dealkylation and protonation, and yet, are predictably "cleaved" to release an active moiety and/or moieties.
However, this salt does not undergo hydrolytic cleavage, which is a necessary characteristic of the labile quaternary ammonium salts of this invention.
Still, it is another object of the present invention to provide labile quaternary ammonium salts as described above which meet the above criteria and still are subject to chemical and/or enzymatic cleavage, thus releasing, on one hand, the original t-aliphatic amine or aromatic amine, and on the other hand, an aldehyde and a carboxylic acid.
