Answer:

Indole is generated by reductive deamination from tryptophan via the intermediate molecule indolepyruvic acid. ... When indole is combined with Kovac's Reagent (which contains hydrochloric acid and p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde in amyl alcohol) the solution turns from yellow to cherry red.

Explanation:

P-Dimethylaminobenzaldehyde: 50.0 gm

Amyl Alcohol: 750.0 ml
