Application

Trimethylamine N-oxide dihydrate can react with transition-metal carbonyl cluster compounds and activate CO displacement by converting CO ligands into carbon dioxide.

Reactant for: C-H bond cleavage Oxidation reactions (oxidant) Decarbonylating agent for solvent-free reactions

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.
