Live copepods, Calanus finmarchicus (Gunnerus) and c. hyperboreus (Kr~yer), exposed to dissolved 14C-labeled trimethylamine (TMA) in seawater, oxidized TMA to trimethylamine oxide (TMAO), which accumulated in the organisms. The amount of TMAO synthesized was dependent on the time of exposure to TMA
A rapid, efficient procedure for the preparation of pure, crystalline anhydrous trimethylamine N-oxide from the com.mercially available dihydrate form of the reagent is describ;d. DMF serves to both allow the distillative removal of water as well as to provide an excellent medium for obtaining large
