Abstract: A simple method for naked-eye detection of free amine groups during solid-phase peptide synthesis is reported. The technique involves base-catalyzed cyclization of 2-(2-oxo-2H-acenaphthylene-1-ylidene)-malononitrile (1) and subsequent oxidative substitution of aryl moiety by free amine group… read more here.
