Abstract: The sepn. is made on Whatman No. 4 paper, impregnated with 20% HCONH₂. The moving phase is 1:1:0.1 hexane-CHCl₃-99.5% EtOH, satd. with HCONH₂. After the solvent front reaches the lower edge of the paper, the development is continued 20 min. more. The paper is dried 3-5 min. and the chromatogram developed by spraying first with a 5:1.5 (by vol.) mixt. of 0.3% sulfanilic acid in 8% HCl with 1% NaNO₃, then with 20% Na₂CO₃. For quant. estn., the chromatogram is cut into strips and subjected to direct photometry in reflected light. For 1-10 γ of the components the accuracy of direct photometric evaluation of chromatographic spots is ±20%.
