Summary
-
1.
A mixture of menthene, menthone, and menthol has been separated into its components by the method of adsorption chromatography.
-
2.
The stereospecific action of silica gel formed in the presence of dextro-tartaric acid has been shown.
-
3.
The method for the separation of a ternary mixture of optically active components which has been developed may be used for the determination of the stereospecificity of adsorbents.
