In the presence of NADPH and oxygen, hepatic microsomal enzymes convert the following substrates to the corresponding N-oxides chlorpromazine, chlor-qrclizine. imipramine. nicotinamide, guanethidine, and trimethylamine. Based on limited data, it was sug sted that the formation of N-oxides might be an intermediate step in all microsomal N-dealkylations. It is now clear that although N-oxides are formed by liver microsomes, they are not obligatory intermediates in all N-dealky-lation reactions. 

Cholines, or Trimethylamine Bases.—This subgroup includes the highly active and widely distributed base choline, together with its derivatives, all of which may be regarded as offspring of the parent, )3-amino-ethyl alcohol, or colamine, HO.CHg.CHg.NH. ... 

CjHiaNO, [Mc3NCH= CH2] OH. A liquid forming a crystalline trihydrate, It is present free and combined in brain and other animal and vegetable products and is formed as a product of putrefaction of lecithin. It can be prepared synthetically from choline and decomposes easily to trimethylamine. neutralization, heat of The amount of heat evolved when I g equivalent of an acid is neutralized by 1 g equivalent of a base. For strong acids and strong bases in dilute solution the only reaction which occurs is H -h OH ---> H2O and the heat of neutral-... 

The y-radiation-induced polymerization requires an extremely high purity reaction system. Trace amounts of water can terminate a cationic reaction and inhibit polymerization. Organic bases such as ammonia and trimethylamine also inhibit polymerization. The y-radiation-induced polymerization of a rigorously dried D obeys the Hayashi-WilHams equation for completely pure systems (150). 

EtOH), is insoluble in benzene or ether, and sparingly in chloroform, but dissolves readily in alkali, the solution darkening in air. The salts are crystalline but unstable. The base forms a crystalline metbiodide and contains two methoxyl and two phenolic hydroxyl groups. On methyla-tion it yields a mixture of corydine and fsocorydine. On exhaustive methylation corytuberine yields eventually trimethylamine and 3 4 5 6-tetramethoxy-8-vinylphenanthrene, m.p. 69°. 

Dicentrine, CgoHjjOjN. (Items 36, 37, 39, 40 list, pp. 172-3.) This alkaloid crystallises, from ether, alcohol, or ethyl acetate in prisms, m.p. 168-9° [a]i) + 62-1° (CHCI3), and yields well-crystallised salts. It contains two methoxyl groups and yields a monoacetyl derivative, colourless leaflets, m.p. 202°, which is not hydrolysed even by boiling alcoholic potash. 1 The methiodide, B. CH3I. HjO, has m.p. 224°, and according to Manske, yields a methine base, m.p. 158-9°, the methiodide of which with potassium hydroxide solution decomposes into trimethylamine and a crystalline substance, presumably a substituted phenanthrenyl-ethylene, which polymerises on recrystallisation. 

Nucleophiles can also act as acids and bases, and this behavior substantially alters their nucleophilicity. At pH 5, trimethylamine exists mainly as its conjugate acid, trimethylammonium cation. First draw a Lewis structure, and then examine the electrostatic potential for trimethylammonium ion. On the basis of the map, which is the better nucleophile, the cation or the corresponding neutral amine At pH 12, phenol exists mainly as its conjugate base, phenoxide anion. First draw a Lewis structure (or series of Lewis structures), and then examine the electrostatic potential map for phenoxide anion. Which is the better nucleophile, phenoxide or phenol ... 

Amines occur widely in all living organisms. Trimethylamine, for instance, occurs in animal tissues and is partially responsible for the distinctive odor of fish, nicotine is found in tobacco, and cocaine is a stimulant found in the South American coca bush. In addition, amino acids are the buildingblocks from which all proteins are made, and cyclic amine bases are constituents of nucleic acids. 

The chemistry of amines ts dominated by the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen, which makes amines both basic and nucleophilic. They react with acids to form acid-base salts, and they react with electrophiles in many of the polar reactions seen in past chapters. Note in the following electrostatic potential map of trimethylamine how the negative (red) region corresponds to the lone-pair of electrons on nitrogen.
