Studies on the Metabolism of Naturally Occurring Coumarins. I. Separation and Identification of Coumarin Derivatives by Paper Chromatography.

Abstract

The paper chromatography of more than 30 kinds of natural and synthetic coumarin derivatives was studied using 8 different solvent systems. The relationship between Rf values and structure of compounds in regard to the properties of the developing solvent systems was discussed. The separation of coumarin derivatives by multibuffered chromatography was also studied.
