General description
Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is an amphiphilic osmolyte that can counteract the denaturing effects of urea, pressure, and ice and stabilize the proteins.
Application
Reactant for:
- C-H bond cleavage
- Oxidation reactions (oxidant)
- Decarbonylating agent for solvent-free reactions
Trimethylamine N-oxide dihydrate can react with transition-metal carbonyl cluster compounds and activate CO displacement by converting CO ligands into carbon dioxide.
Other Notes
Oxidant for the catalytic OsO4 cis-hydroxylation of hindered olefins; preparation of the unstable, crystalline anhydrous compound
