Reactivity Profile
C.I. FOOD RED 15 is a quaternary ammonium salt and contains conjugated carbon-carbon double bonds. Many compounds with extended conjugated double bond systems are highly colored and used as dyes.
Quaternary ammonium salts often serve as catalysts in reactions. They are incompatible with many strong oxidizers and reducing agents, such as metal hydrides, alkali/active metals, and organometallics.
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
- Acids, Carboxylic
- Amines, Phosphines, and Pyridines
- Ethers
- Conjugated Dienes
- Quaternary Ammonium and Phosphonium Salts
