Thin-layer chromatography of organophosphorosulfur compounds

Summary A method of thin-layer chromatography for application to organophosphorosulfur compounds has been developed.     

Thin-layer electrophoretic separation of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and related compounds on reverse phase silica gel

The electrophoretic mobilities of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, sugar alcohols and sugar acids were determined in 0.3 M borate buffer, pH 10, using thin-layer electrophoresis on silanized silica gel, pretreated with octanol-1. A rapid separation of a number of sugars, occurring in foods, could be achieved. Using a 0.05-0.1 M neutral solution of barium acetate as electrolyte, thin-layer electrophoresis allowed excellent and rapid separation as well as identification of all common uronic acids which are constituents of many acidic polysaccharides.     

Thin-layer chromatography of some organic selenium compounds

The thin-layer chromatographic behavior on silica gel and consequent rapid separation of some selenopyran derivatives together with some intermediates of their synthesis are described. The compounds examined were selenochrom-4-one, selenochroman-4-ol, 2-nitrobenzyl phenyl selenide, 2-aminobenzyl phenyl selenide, and 6H-dibenzo[b,d]selenopyran. The chromatographic results show that it is possible to obtain rapid separations with small amounts (μg) of substance by a simple monodimensional technique using a two-component eluting solvent.     

Quantitation of digitoxin and the bis- and monodigitoxosides of digitoxigenin in serum

A specific assay is described for measuring the concentration of digitoxin and the bis- and monoglycosides of digitoxigenin in serum. The procedure includes: (1) addition of a tracer amount of tritium labeled parent compound to the serum in order to measure percentage recovery; (2) solvent extraction to separate polar and non-polar metabolites; (3) reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography of the non-polar fraction to separate digoxigenins from digitoxigenins; (4) thin-layer chromatography to isolate digitoxin, and the bis- and monoglycosides of digitoxigenin; and (5) use of an 125I-radioimmunoassay to determine the concentration of the glycosides. Each of these three glycosides was administered intravenously to a normal subject, and the concentration of parent compound was measured in the serum at various times.     

Thin-layer chromatographic separation and analysis of polynuclear aza heterocyclic compounds

Many thin-layer Chromatographic systems can be used for the general separation of aza heterocyclic compounds from polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Several can be used for the separation of the aza compounds from each other. With alumina as the adsorbent the sterically hindered aza heterocyclic compounds can be readily separated from the non-hindered aza compounds.The use of the trifluoroacetic acid spot test on the thin-layer plate is discussed. Spectral data for the aza compounds are presented and discussed.
