(reagent for conversion of alkyl halides and sulfonates to aldehydes and ketones; precursor for azomethine ylide useful for synthesis ofN‐methylpyrrolidines; reagent for decomplexation of tricarbonyldieneiron complexes)Alternate Names:TMANO.Physical Data:mp 213–214 °C (dec). Various melting points have been reported, ranging from 208 °C to 225–227 °C. The dihydrate, Me3NO·2H2O, is a white solid, mp 96 °C.Solubility:sol H2O, EtOH; insol Et2O benzene, and other hydrocarbon solvents; sparingly sol hot CHCl3.Form Supplied in:the dihydrate is commercially available as a white solid.Preparative Methods:aqueous Trimethylamine (100 mL, 33%) is mixed with a pure 3% aqueous solution of Hydrogen Peroxide (600 mL) and is set aside at rt for 24 h. The solution is evaporated to dryness, and the product is recrystallized from EtOH–Et2O to give the dihydrate as needles, mp 96 °C. Several procedures are available for preparing the anhydrous reagent. The dihydrate is heated at 105 °C and 15 mmHg for several hours, after which it is sublimed at 180–200 °C and 15 mmHg. A more convenient procedure is to remove water by azeotropic distillation with benzene or toluene (Dean–Stark trap), or by co‐distillation from a suspension of the reagent in DMF, followed by solvent removal in vacuo.Handling, Storage, and Precautions:no reported hazards for this reagent. The anhydrous material is hygroscopic and should be prepared and used fresh or stored at rt in a vacuum desiccator over P2O5. TrimethylamineN‐oxide is an oxidizer and should be stored away from reducing agents.
