R. Bhushan et I. Ali, RESOLUTION OF RACEMIC MIXTURES OF HYOSCYAMINE AND COLCHICINE ON IMPREGNATED SILICA-GEL LAYERS, Chromatographia, 35(9-12), 1993, pp. 679-680
The enantiomeric resolution of (+/-)-hyoscyamine (atropine) and (+/-)-
colchicine was achieved on silica gel impregnated with an optically ac
tive acid, L-aspartic acid (.03 %), as the chiral selector. The solven
t system n-butanol chloroform acetic acid water (3:6:4:1, v/v), was fo
und to resolve (+/-) mixtures.
