Regeneration of amino compounds from the 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl derivatives by treatment with hydrazine
2,4,6-Trinitrophenylalanine gave free alanine and 1-hydroxy-4,6-dinitrobenzotriazole by treating with aqueous solution of hydrazine at pH 7–9 and 30 °C. Applying the reaction to partially trinitrophenylated derivative of lima bean trypsin inhibitor, the fully active protein could be regenerated almost quantitatively.
