Chromatographic Behaviour of Phenols on Aliphatic Amines Impregnated Thin Layers

Abstract

The chromatographic behaviour of 40 phenols on silica gel G plates impregnated with ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine and hexamine has been studied and its correlation with the equilibrium constants of the adducts formed by the interaction of phenols with ethylenediamine as an impregnant has been attempted. A suitable separation scheme for these phenols on silica gel G plates impregnated with ethylenediamine and hexamine has been worked out.
