Amine oxide
Any chemical compound having an oxygen atom bonded to tertiary amino group
In chemistry, an amine oxide, also known as an amine N-oxide or simply N-oxide, is a chemical compound that has the chemical formula R3N+−O−. It contains a nitrogen-oxygen coordinate covalent bond with three additional hydrogen and/or substituent-groups attached to nitrogen.
From Wikipedia
In chemistry, an amine oxide, also known as an amine N-oxide or simply N-oxide, is a chemical compound that has the chemical formula R3N+−O−. It contains a nitrogen-oxygen coordinate covalent bond with three additional hydrogen and/or substituent-groups attached to nitrogen. Sometimes it is written as R3N→O or, alternatively, as R3N=O. In the strict sense, the term amine oxide applies only to oxides of tertiary amines. Sometimes it is also used for the analogous derivatives of primary and secondary amines. Commonly, amine oxides are white, water-soluble solids: Trimethylamine-N-oxide, (m.p. 220 °C), an osmolyte found in molluscs Pyridine-N-oxide, (m.p. 62–67 °C) N-Methylmorpholine N-oxide, (m.p. 184–187 °C), a nucleophilic oxidant
