Trimethylamine (TMA) is an organic compound with the formula N(CH 3) 3.It is a trimethylated derivative of ammonia.TMA is widely used in industry. [5] [6] At higher concentrations it has an ammonia-like odor, and can cause necrosis of mucous membranes on contact. [7]
PUBS provides a means of rapid chromosome analysis and is useful when information cannot be obtained through amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, or ultrasound (or if the results of these tests were inconclusive); this test carries a significant risk of complication and is typically reserved for pregnancies determined to be at high risk ...

Trimethylborane spontaneously ignites in air if the concentration is high enough. It burns with a green flame producing soot. [11] Slower oxidation with oxygen in a solvent or in the gas phase can produce dimethyltrioxadiboralane, which contains a ring of two boron and three oxygen atoms.
