Pinacyanol bromide is a synthetic organic compound characterized by its distinctive structure and properties. It is a quaternary ammonium salt, typically appearing as a solid or crystalline substance. This compound is known for its vibrant color, often exhibiting a deep blue hue, which makes it useful in various applications, including as a dye and in biological staining. Pinacyanol bromide is soluble in polar solvents, such as water and alcohols, but has limited solubility in non-polar solvents. Its chemical structure includes a pinacyloxy group, contributing to its unique reactivity and stability. The compound is often utilized in research settings, particularly in studies involving cell biology and histology, due to its ability to selectively stain certain cellular components. Additionally, it may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in pharmaceutical applications. As with many chemical substances, proper handling and safety precautions are essential, as it may pose health risks if ingested or improperly managed.

Pinacyanol bromide is a polymer that is insoluble in water. It has been shown to bind to the surface of a metal particle and form an insoluble polymer film. The uptake of the polymer film on the metal particles was studied by titration method and found to be dependent on the concentration of pinacyanol bromide solution, as well as on the pH and temperature. Pinacyanol bromide has also been found to bind to fabric samples with high affinity, which may be due to its primary amino group. Pinacyanol bromide has been used for a variety of purposes, including for use as a metachromatic dye in urine samples and as a radiation shield in thermally sensitive environments.
