Abstract
A surface-active ionic liquid, tetrabutylammonium dodecyl sulfate was obtained from tetrabutylammonium bromide by employing anion exchange technique, an alternative novel approach giving 87.72 % yield and about 99 % exchange. The infrared spectroscopy coupled with prescribed tests for detection of anions confirmed the success of anion exchange. Differential Scanning Calorimetry was used for thermal characterization of the compound. A comparative profile of the physicochemical properties of three compounds viz. tetrabutylammonium dodecyl sulfate, tetrabutylammonium bromide and sodium dodecyl sulfate was created. The sodium free ionic liquid reported in this paper shows superior activity against Candida albicans at concentrations above 100 μg.
