Abstract

Abstract image Analysis of amino acids and very efficient disinfection procedures are based on the reaction of phthalaldehyde (OPA) with primary amines. In this contribution, aminoethanol (= kolamin) as a nitrogen-containing nucleophile was used for the investigation of its reaction mechanism with OPA performed in basic aqueous buffered media (pH 9.5), where an influence of hydration or solvation is expected, and in ...
