Abstract: cf. C.A. 42, 4216i; 49, 1125a. Splitting off of cystine (I) and tyrosine by hydrolysis of keratin by HCl was studied quantitatively. It was found that the optimum amts. of I in soln. can be obtained by a short reaction time, up to 12 hrs., at 20% HCl and 110°. Lower temps. and longer reaction time are not favorable for I formation in the hydrolyzate. By chromatographic analysis under these conditions the amt. of I is quite high, but owing to a lower amt. of N in the primary amino groups and to higher amts. of decompn. products the conditions for the isolation of I are not favorable. A certain excess of HCl for the formation of I is desirable, but a concn. higher than 25% HCl causes the destruction of I. The isolated needles, were not the inactive form of I because S was not present, but chromatographic analysis shows tyrosine.
