Conclusions
-
1.
A Fischer reagent in which methanol is replaced by N,N′-dimethylformamide is proposed.
-
2.
The proposed reagent permits the reliable determination of water in various substances, including carbonyl compounds and strong acids, but is not suitable for the determination of water in compounds containing active hydrogen.
-
3.
Many organic compounds, including carbonyl-containing compounds, can be used as solvents for the substance to be analyzed.
