Abstract:Orthophthalaldehyde (o‐phthalaldehyde, OPA) is a broadly used biologically, synthetically and analytically significant compound. Its properties are connected with its reactivity towards nucleophiles, namely amines in aqueous – mostly basic – solutions. Since the reaction mechanisms of OPA and amine condensation are complicated, strongly depending on the amine structure and, therefore, a systematic study of this kind of reaction is presented. Structure activity relationships based on amine structure and their a… Show more
