Normal phase thin layer chromatography for aromatic derivatives of 3-chloro-1,4-naphtochinone

Abstract

The chromatographic characteristics were investigated for eight aromatic derivatives of 3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone under conditions of normal-phase thin-layer chromatography for benzene-based binary mobile phase and such polar solvents as chloroform, acetone, acetonitrile, methanol and propan-2-ol. The slope of linear retention dependencies for the investigated compounds on the concentration of the polar component in the mobile phase satisfactorily correlates with the area occupied by the adsorbed analyte molecule in the stationary phase. The intercept in the Soczewinski equation depends on the polar component of the mobile phase.
