Diacetyl monoxime is a chemical compound described by the formula CH3C(O)C(NOH)CH3. 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.[1]

Preparation

[edit]

The compound can be prepared from butanone by reaction with ethyl nitrite. It is an intermediate in the preparation of dimethylglyoxime:[2]

Uses

[edit]

Diacetyl monoxime can be used with thiosemicarbazide to selectively detect small amounts of urea in the presence of other nitrogen-containing compounds.[3]
