Summary The rate of development of Ruhemann's purple in the ninhydrin reaction of two deuterated primary amines, αα-d2-p-tyramine and αα-d2-β-phenylethylamine, is significantly reduced It appears to be a primary isotope effect and indicates that the cleavage of the carbon-hydrogen bond at the α-position is involved in the rate-determining step of the color reaction.
