Diacetyl monoxime can be used with thiosemicarbazide to selectively detect small amounts of urea in the presence of other nitrogen-containing compounds. A simple method for determination of urea in blood and urine with diacetyl monoxime- glucuronolactone reagent is presented.
Diacetyl monoxime is a chemical compound described by the formula CH3C(O)C(NOH)CH3.
Diacetyl monoxime can be used with thiosemicarbazide to selectively detect small amounts of urea in the presence of other nitrogen-containing compounds.
This colourless solid is the monooxime derivative of the diketone butane-2,3-dione (also known as diacetyl and biacetyl). Its biological effects include inhibiting certain ATPases.
