L. Lepri et al., REVERSED-PHASE PLANAR CHROMATOGRAPHY OF ENANTIOMERIC COMPOUNDS ON MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE TRIACETATE (MCTA), JPC. Journal of planar chromatography, modern TLC, 10(2), 1997, pp. 108-113
Several racemates have been resolved on home-made microcrystalline cel
lulose triacetate (MCTA) plates eluted with aqueous - organic mixtures
containing methanol, ethanol, or 2-propanol. The roles of the chemica
l structures of the solutes and of the type and concentration of organ
ic solvent on the resolving capability of this polysaccharide have bee
n evaluated. Detection of enantiomeric mixtures in the ratios 50:1, 10
0:1, and 200:1 was performed by scanning densitometry of the MCTA chro
matograms.
