Zusammenfassung:	A sterically hindered quaternary ammonium composition is prepared by contacting a solvent having hydroxyl functionality, a halohydrin, and a sterically hindered tertiary amine, under reaction conditions sufficient to produce a sterically hindered quaternary ammonium compound. The reaction proceeds with excellent yield. The resulting compounds are particularly useful for inhibiting formation of hydrates in hydrocarbon reservoirs and pipelines. Novel compositions of matter include sterically hindered quaternary ammonium compounds conforming to the formulas C27H58XNO2 and C29H63XNO2, wherein X is a halogen.
