Abstract
HOCl by oxidative decarboxylation converts several α-amino acids into a mixture of the corresponding nitriles (major) and aldehydes (minor product). In addition, chlorination of the ring of tyrosine was observed. Cysteine when reacted with HOCl yielded cystine and cysteic acid, while with cystine, cysteic acid was the only product identified. The nitrogen bond of several dipeptides was found to be resistant to aqueous HOCl at room temperature. Chlorination of these compounds gave the corresponding N, N-dichlorodipeptide.
