Abstract
A study of the effect of the application to wool of the new substantive crosslinking agent, 2-chloro-4, 6-di(-aminobenzene-4-β-sulphato-ethylsulphone)-1,3,5-s-triazine (XLC) is reported, with special reference to determining crosslinking at individual amino acid sites. Amino acid analysis was used to detect reactions of this compound at specific amino acid residues. Lysine and histidine residues were shown to be important sites of reaction, and indirect evidence was obtained that the compound restricts the degree of thiol-disulphide interchange which occurs when boiling wool under mildly acidic aqueous conditions (pH values 5–6).
