Trimethylamine hydrochloride is a precursor to prepare aluminium chloride- trimethylamine hydrochloride ionic liquid, which is commonly used in electrodeposition of aluminum wires.
Trimethylamine is a colorless gas or liquid below 37oF (3oC), with a strong fishy odor. It is used as a warning (smell) agent in natural gas, as an insect attractant, and in chemical manufacturing.
Trimethylamine is normally formed by bacterial action in the intestine on choline (found in foods such as soy, liver, kidneys, wheat germ, brewer's yeast, and egg yolk), or on trimethylamine N-oxide (found in salt water fish).
Trimethylamine is a tertiary amine that is ammonia in which each hydrogen atom is substituted by an methyl group. It has a role as a human xenobiotic metabolite and an Escherichia coli metabolite. It is a tertiary amine and a member of methylamines.
