Abstract

Fluorescent labelling of α-amino acids at their N or C terminals in the main and lateral chains at short and long wavelengths was carried out in different ways. The N-[3- (naphthalen-1-ylamino) propanoyl] amino acid methyl esters synthesised showed strong fluorescence in the visible region (∼ 415nm) of the electromagnetic spectrum. Condensation of these compounds with 5-diethylamino-2-nitrosophenol or 5-ethylamino-4 ...
