Preparation of Lauryltrimethylammonium chloride: Adding 430kg N,N-dimethyldodecylamine into the reactor, and then adding a certain amount of isopropyl alcohol and water into the reactor. Using alkali as catalyst. After the replacement of the air of pressure vessel, it gradually warming and leading to 111kg monochlorosilane at 0.2 ~ 0.3MPa to react 4h. After cooling to atmospheric pressure, we can get the products.

Uses of Lauryltrimethylammonium chloride: It can be used as catalysts, emulsifiers, fungicides, disinfectants, antistatic agents, cationicsurfactant and so on. And it can react with N-chloro-toluene-4-sulfonamide; sodium salt to get C₁₅H₃₄N¹⁺*C₇H₇ClNO₂S^1-. This reaction needs solvent water at temperature of 5 °C. The reaction time is 5 hours. The yield is 86%.
