Petroleum-type basic nitrogen compounds were isolated from a heavy gas oil by extraction with aqueous HCI. The resulting complex mixtures of bases was separated by fractional elution of an alumina column; the various eluates were subsequently separated by a two-step paper chromatographic technique employing toluene: methanol:water (1:10:1) and heptane saturated with methanol as developing solvents; paper electrophoresis was also utilized as a separation technique. The following compound-types were identified or their presence was indicated in the resulting fractions by various spectral techniques: quinolines, benzoquinolines, indoioand carbazoloquinolines, hydroxybenzoquinolines, 1,10-phenanthroline, and tetrahydrocarbazolenines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
