The rate of development of Ruhemann's purple in the ninhydrin reaction of two deuterated primary amines, aa-d2-p-tyramine and aa-d2-beta-phenylethylamine, is significantly reduced. It appears to be a primary isotope effect and indicates that the cleavage of the carbon-hydrogen bond at the a-position is involved in the rate-determining step of the color reaction.
在茚三酮反应中,两种氘代伯胺,即α,α-d₂-对酪氨酸和α,α-d₂-β-苯乙胺,生成鲁赫曼紫的速率显著降低。这似乎是一种一级同位素效应,表明α位碳氢键的断裂参与了显色反应的速率决定步骤。
