Analytical Detection

Thin layer chromatography on silica gel G with benzene–methanol mixtures is a rapid method for the analytical or semimicro preparative separation of low molecular weight carbohydrate acetates. Some mixtures of inositol acetates are also resolved by the same procedure. A sensitive spray reagent has been developed for the analytical detection of acetates on the chromatographic plates and is based on the formation of the ferric hydroxamate of acetic acid. Oligosaccharide acetates are easily detected on a semimicro preparative scale by spraying the chromatographic plates with water, a general, non-destructive method for detection of hydrophobic compounds. The chromatograms can be run in 40 minutes and multiple development can be carried out to improve resolution when necessary.

Abstract TLC is a quick, easy method to the identification of rubber compounding ingredients. Both silica gel absorbent and C18 absorbent are suitable for these identifications. With the mobile phases used in this study, a better separation of antioxidants is possible using silica gel absorbent. Work should be continued on finding suitable mobile phases for the C18 absorbent, since the Rf values are more reproducible. For those separations that require a separation of compounds of varying molecular weight, the C18 absorbent is superior to silica gel absorbent. The visualization systems that have been developed for use with silica gel absorbent are suitable for use with C18 absorbent. These systems give the same colors for either absorbent.
