DMACA reagent → P-Dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde – This page should be about the mixed reagent, not pure 3-[4-(Dimethylamino)phenyl]prop-2-enal. It should not have a chembox. Either the name should change or a separate page should be created for simple p-Dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde. I will change the name in one week. Testem (talk) 17:01, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

• Rename. This article should be titled as the individual compound, and can contain a section on its use in the DMACA reagent. If at any point information about the reagent becomes too much for this article, it can then be split out into a daughter article, but one article should be sufficient for now. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:59, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Original article

Is this the first recorded mention of the reagent and the place it gets its name? ​Renz, C.; Loew, K. (1903). "Ueber α-Methyl-indol". Berichte der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft. 36 (4): 4326. doi:10.1002/cber.190303604113. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59869575/Renz%20and%20Loew%20original.pdf I don;t speak german so cannot confirm but it is cited here: Ehmann, A. (1977). "The van URK-Salkowski reagent — a sensitive and specific chromogenic reagent for silica gel thin-layer chromatographic detection and identification of indole derivatives" (PDF). Journal of Chromatography A. 132 (2): 267–201. doi:10.1016/S0021-9673(00)89300-0.
