Primary amines react with ninhydrin to produce a deep blue-purple color due to the formation of a colored complex, which is useful for detecting amino acids and peptides. Secondary amines also react, but typically yield a less intense color compared to primary amines. This difference in reactivity can be utilized in analytical chemistry to distinguish between primary and secondary amines in various samples. Tertiary amines do not react with ninhydrin, highlighting the specificity of this reaction in identifying amine types.
When ammonia or primary and secondary amines are detected, a deep blue or purple color known as Ruhemann's purple is produced. Ninhydrin can also be used to monitor deprotection in solid phase peptide synthesis (Kaiser Test). The chain is linked via its C-terminus to the solid support, with the N-terminus extending off it. When that nitrogen is deprotected, a ninhydrin test yields blue. Amino-acid residues are attached with their N-terminus protected, so if the next residue has been successfully coupled onto the chain, the test gives a colorless or yellow result.
Amino acids, specifically the primary amine group found in proteins, react with ninhydrin to produce a purple-blue color. This reaction is commonly used to detect and visualize amino acids in biological samples such as human skin.
Ninhydrin is used as a visualization reagent in thin layer chromatography to detect amino acids and other compounds that contain primary amines. When sprayed onto the developed TLC plate and heated, ninhydrin reacts with primary amines to form colored products, allowing for visualization and identification of the separated compounds.
Ninhydrin works because it reacts with the amino acids left behind in a latent print. Ninhydrin has a polar carbonyl carbon with is electron deficient. It is attacked by the nucleophilic nitrogren on an amino acid, temporarily combining the ninhydrin and amino acid molecule. The structure is rearranged until the origionally attacked carbon is protonated and leaves in the form of water. This creates a schiff base when the nitrogen is double bonded to the origionally attacked carbon. This molecule rearranges again so that the nitrogen is double bonded to the adjacent carbon of the amino acid. This last rearrangement produces carbon dioxide gas. Further rearrangement of the product produces ruheman's purple.
Primary consumers are herbivores that eat plants directly. Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat primary consumers. Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers.
No! because the Ninhydrin test is mostly used to detect ammonia or primary secondary amines
Yes. Within "The Chemical Reactions of Amino Acids / Reactions of Amino Groups" there are several examples - one of which is the ninhydrin reaction. A very widely applied reaction of the alpha amino group [that is the N in the peptide bond -CCN-CCN-], it is used to estimate the quantity of amino acids [in a sample] in very small amounts. All amino acids and polypeptides with a free alpha group react with ninhydrin and yield [or produce] an intensely purple colored product - except for Proline and Hydroxyproline {both in which the alpha amino group is termed to be 'substituted' - something to do with carbon rings} which "yield derivatives with a characteristic yellow color." See also 'Schiff's bases'.
Well, the best I could come up with is it's either:C9H6O2orC4H3O2If someone knows any different please correct me.jman63: it is actually C9H6O4
The reaction will performed with acid
Ruhemann's purple is a deep violet compound that forms as a result of the reaction of ninhydrin with amino acids present in a sample. This color change is used in analytical techniques such as chromatography to detect and quantify amino acids. Ruhemann's purple formation indicates the presence of primary amines in the sample.
Primary pollutants are pollutants that enters the air directly from a source and Secondary pollutants are air pollutantsproduced by the reaction of a primary pollutant with some other pollutant

A primary cell cannot be recharged whereas a secondary cell can be recharged. In a primary cell chemical reaction is irreversible whereas in a secondary cell chemical reaction is reversible. ... A primary cell is light and less expensive whereas a secondary cell is heavy and expensive.
Ninhydrin is used in amino acid TLC because it readily stains amino acids by reacting with the amine groups. This reaction takes place very quickly and creates a brownish-color that can be easily visualized.
