To provide a cationic surfactant having high biodegradability, low irritation to skin and mucous membranes, and excellent hydrolytic stability. The following general formula (1) (In the formula, R 1 represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms, a cyclohexyl group, or a group represented by — (A—O) n —Y, and R 2 represents an aliphatic carbon group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms. A hydrogen group or a group represented by — (A—O) n —Y, R 3 represents a group represented by — (A—O) n —CO 2 —R 5 , and R 4 represents a hydrogen atom or a carbon number. 1 to 4 represents an alkyl group or a benzyl group, A represents an alkylene group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, Y represents a hydrogen atom or a group represented by —CO 2 —R 5 , and X represents an anionic atom or anion R 5 represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms, and n represents a number of 1 to 5). And a method for producing the same. [Selection figure] None |
