“…Compounds form/methanol (5:1) (silica gel) or in isopropyl alcohol/ water (3:7) (cellulose). Spots were visualized using Grote's reagent (Grote, 1931), ferricyanide-nitroprusside, or N,-IV'-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde in 3:1 ethanol/4 N hydrochloric acid. When chromatographically pure 4,5-[uC]ETU was used as a substrate for oxidation, the products (separated by TLC) were quantified by scintillation counting with appropriate corrections for background and quenching.…”
