A simple colorimetric method for the differentiation of indoleacetic acid (IAA) and indolebutyric acid (IBA) in plant samples is described. The color change is based upon the reaction between the auxins and p-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde (PDAB, Ehrlich reagent) following the electrophilic substitution

The structures of pyrrolic forms of cross-links in collagen have been confirmed by reacting collagen peptides with a biotinylated Ehrlich's reagent. This reagent was synthesized by converting the cyano group of N-methyl-N-cyanoethyl-4-aminobenzaldehyde to a carboxylic acid, followed by conjugation with
