Polyamide Layer Chromatography of Indoles

Nature volume 213, pages 213–214 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

POLYAMIDE was found to adsorb various types of compounds by hydrogen bonding. Carelli et al. were the first to report that polyamide powder is an excellent adsorbent for column chromatography of phenols and lower fatty acids, for example, formic acid, acetic acid and propionic acid1. Later, Endres2 found that nitro and sulphonic acid groups are also adsorbed by polyamide powder column. Wang has applied polyamide layer chromatography to several compounds3 including the separation of lactones4.
