Eb. Smirnova et al., PROCEDURE FOR THE CATALYTIC DETERMINATION OF ALDEHYDES USING THIN-LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY, Journal of analytical chemistry, 51(9), 1996, pp. 903-905
It is demonstrated that thin-layer chromatography with catalytic detec
tion can be applied to the separation and detection of aldehydes in mi
xtures. A procedure for determining formaldehyde (3-100 mu g), benzald
ehyde (0.2-2 mg), and bromoacetaldehyde (15-100 mu g) in mixtures is d
eveloped. A procedure for determining bromoacetaldehyde in the presenc
e of a 100-fold excess of its acetal is proposed.
