The procedure adopted consists in placing 1 ml. of an acidified amnioniacal liquor on an acidified Celite column and elution with cyclohexane to obtain all the monohydric phenols in one band, except phenol which follows as a separate band. The dihydric phenols are then eluted separately or in groups of isomers by the addition of butanol in successively increasing amounts to the cyclohexane eluent. The monohydric phenols are separated on a second Celite column impregnated with sodium silicate solution by elution with cyclohexane. Amounts of all the compounds are determined directly in the eluates by ultra‐violet spectrophotometry.
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.
