Summary

  1. 1.

    A mixture of menthene, menthone, and menthol has been separated into its components by the method of adsorption chromatography.

  2. 2.

    The stereospecific action of silica gel formed in the presence of dextro-tartaric acid has been shown.

  3. 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.
