Mass spectrometry has been used to define the reaction of BNPS‐skatole (3‐bromo‐3‐methyl‐2‐( o ‐nitrophenylsulfenyl)indolenine) with selected proteins and peptides, confirming the cleavage of the protein chain at tryptophan residues, characterizing the products, and identifying the side reactions. A short procedure for carrying out the cleavage reaction with minimal side reactions is presented.
