Description
Burgess reagent is a selective dehydrating reagent used in organic synthesis. It is used to convert secondary and tertiary alcohol, with an adjacent proton, into alkenes. Burgess reagent is also utilized to promote great synthetic values in medicinal chemistry. It has been used in dehydration of primary amides, formamides and primary nitroalkanes to generate nitriles, isocyanides and nitrile oxides respectively. It forms urethanes when it reacts with primary alcohols.
