SULFUR TRIOXIDE TRIMETHYLAMINE COMPLEX

White powder. Soluble in hot water, ethanol; soluble with difficulty in cold water and acetone; not dissociated in benzene and chloroform solutions; distinctly different from the isomeric adduct of trimethylamine oxide and sulfur dioxide.

Reactant for sulfation reactions involving:

• Synthesis of sulfate-conjugated resveratrol metabolites
• Chitooligosaccharides used for anti-HIV-1 activity
• Dodecyl thioglycopyranoside used as a surfactant for enantiomeric separation
• Glycosaminoglycans which facilitate activation of signaling pathways dependent on sulfation pattern
• Polysaccharides as heparan sulfate mimetics

Nucleophile for the synthesis of α-tosyloxy ketones

Separation of isomers, soil sterilant, catalyst for thermosetting resins.
