Summary
N-Bromosuccinimide has been employed as a titrant for the determination of α-substituted DL-cystines and α-substituted DL-cysteines. Using NBS and Bordeaux Red indicator, quantitative recoveries in the 1–5 mg range were obtained for L-cystine, L-cysteine, L-methionine, and the α-substituted DL-cystines. With NBS and the iodine displa'cement procedure, quantitative recoveries in the 10--20 mg range were obtained for L-cysteine and the s-substituted DL-cysteines.
Zusammenfassung
N-Bromsuccinimid (NBS) wurde zur Titration von α-substituierten DL-Cystinen sowie DL-Cysteinen herangezogen. Mit Bordeaux-Rot als Indikator erhält man quantitative Ergebnisse im Bereich von 1–5 mgL-Cystin,L-Cystein,L-Methionin bzw. α-substituierten DL-Cystinen. Mit Hilfe des Jodverdrängungsverfahrens führt NBS zu quantitativen Ergebnissen im Bereich von 10–20 mgL-Cysteine bzw. α-substituierten DL-Cysteinen.
