Tryptophan in acetophenone
I'm wondering, what would be the red coloration in a decarboxylation of tryptophan in acetophenone?
The schiff base? (probably not)
Someone has said polymerized acetophenone, but what would that be? I don't see a good electro/nucleophile combination in acetophenone.
Also would water create by-products of a schiff base?
Perhaps a zwitterion? N(+) - O(-) ?
