The quantitative recovery and structural alterations of aldehydes liberated from O‐alk‐1‐enyl glycerols on thin layer chromatographic layers have been evaluated by using14C‐labeled fatty aldehydes and chromatography. The results led to the development of a quantitative procedure for isolating the aldehydes produced from O‐alk‐1‐enyl glycerols by shaking an ethereal solution of the ether‐linked lipids with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The procedure is rapid and silicic acid does not interfere.
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.
