Summary
New separation procedures for alkaloids of similar polarity and structure or of very different polarity and structure, based upon two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography on unmodified silica gel under mild conditions are described. Separation factors and separation mechanisms based on the structure of the bases and mobile phase composition are discussed for some examples of very efficient procedures.
