When peptides containing a 2, 3-diaminopropanoic acid (DAPA) residue are treated with the Edman reagent and then with acid, a peptide cleavage occurs in addition to degradation of the amino-terminal residue (see Fig. P26.64). Using the curved-arrow notation to rationalize your answer, propose a structure for X.
