The reagent 2-nitro-5-thiocyanatobenzoic acid (NTCB) is commonly used to cyanylate and cleave proteins at cysteine residues, but this two-step reaction requires lengthy incubations and produces highly incomplete cleavages. In previous reports, incomplete cleavage was attributed to a competing beta-elimination reaction
