English translation:Unsure about the latter but...
Explanation:
Unsure about the latter (Benzodeciniumchlorid) but there is lots of information about the former (Miristalkoniumchlorid)available on the 'net, so perhaps so research in that direction will play off. For example, the CAS No. for Miristalkoniumchlorid is 139-08-2. Type that into the search engine at www.chemfinder.com, and a whole list of synonyms, along with a structure, comes up. Good luck.

neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: IF it's a tradename it will remain capitalised and won't have an 'e' at the end, and if it has an 'e' at the end it would be written as 2 words in English, ne? :-)

Zephiramine.


Explanation:
Maybe Kevin should get the points, because all this can be found through his links.

Zephiramine seems to be the preferred trivial name, but myristalkonium chloride (not miristalkonium) is an alternative. The systematic name is N-tetradecyl-N,N-dimethyl-benzenemethaminium chloride.

I don't find anything on benzodecinium chloride either, but this would be the English spelling if the name is used in English.
