Which of the following amino acid will give violet coloured complex with neutral ferric chloride solution?

  1. Threonine
  2. Serine
  3. Tyrosine
  4. Cysteine

Answer

(3) Tyrosine

Solution

Neutral FeCl3 gives a violet colour with a phenolic –OH group (test for phenols).

Tyrosine, HO-C6H4-CH2-CH(NH2)-COOH, has a phenolic –OH ⇒ violet complex.

Threonine and serine have alcoholic –OH and cysteine has –SH ⇒ no violet colour.

Answer: (3)
