Abstract
DURING investigations on fluorocarbohydrates, it became necessary to examine the purity of small amounts of O-isopropylidene derivatives. Hitherto, for such compounds in the carbohydrate series, there has been no reliable chromatographical method of separation from fully protected or nearly related hydroxylated compounds. We have found, however, that separations can be achieved rapidly and easily by reversed-phase, ascending chromatography on cellulose acetate strips (20 × 4.5 cm., as used for electrophoresis and obtainable from Oxo, Ltd., Queen Street Place, London, E.C.4).
