Abstract
Abstract A rapid, efficient procedure for the preparation of pure, crystalline anhydrous trimethylamine N -oxide from the commercially available dihydrate form of the reagent is described. DMF serves to both allow the distillative removal of water as well as to provide an excellent medium for obtaining large crystals of the pure (mp 225-7°C (dec)), anhydrous material in excellent (94%) yield.
