A Gas-Liquid Chromatographic Examination of Stilbene Derivatives

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Trimethylsilyl ether derivatives of twenty hydroxystilbenes were separated by gas-liquid chromatography on Apiezon-L, OV-1, OV-17, and SE-54. Relative retention times were highly dependent upon the degree of hydroxylation and methoxylation, the positions of these groups and on cis-trans isomerism. OV-1 was the best liquid phase for separating compounds with different numbers of trimethylsilyl ether groups while OV-17 was best for separating on the basis of different numbers of methoxyl groups. The method holds promise for analysis of stilbene derivatives in plant extracts.
