Abstract: This paper describes the chromatographic separation of D-xylose methyl derivatives on microcrystalline cellulose by thin-layer and column technics. Butanol saturated with water has proved to be the best of seven investigated solvent systems. It possesses a better partitioning effect and requires shorter developing times in comparison with paper chromatography. The preparative separation of D-xylose methyl derivatives on microcrystalline cellulose is superior to their separation on the mixture of activated charcoal with celit e because it gives higher yields of pure substances.
