Biuret is a chemical compound with the chemical formula C2H5N3O2. It is also known as carbamylurea. It is the result of condensation of two molecules of urea and is a problematic impurity in urea-based fertilizers [1]

Properties

Chemical

Biuret is prepared by the thermally catalyzed condensation of molten urea to biuret and ammonia.

It is not to be confused with Biuret reagent, a protein testing solution. Biuret gives a positive result with Biuret reagent, wherefore the name.
