[On the colour reaction of hydroxyproline with 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (author's transl)]

Abstract

With the as yet unexplained chloramine-T-oxydation of hydroxyproline the formation of pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid and pyrrole could be established. On the oxydation with peroxyde as well as with chloramine-T pyrrole is the starting base for the colour reaction with Ehrlichs reagent. From a comparison of thin layer chromatographic und UV-VIS data of the dyes formed by the oxidation of hydroxyproline and the pyrrole colour reaction the formation of a dipyrrylphenylmethene salt and ms-tetra-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-porphin is made probable.
