Notes:
This paper demonstrates how simply and rapidly fatty acid esters of mono- and polyhydric alcohols can be separated quantitatively in preparative quantities on Lobar® RP-8 packed columns. After the separation of unknown mixtures, the isolated esters are identified from spectroscopic data (IR/NMR) and, after saponification of the ester components (fatty acids and alcohols), from the retention times of gas and high-pressure liquid chromatographic separations. Thus, in particular, sparingly volatile or nonvolatile partial esters of polyhydric alcohols, as well as the long-chained full esters, can be determined qualitatively and quantitatively.The following fatty acid esters of mono- and polyhydric alcohols have been separated: the i-propylesters of the laurinic and myristinic acids, the i-butyl-, i-octyl- and i-octadecyl-esters of the palmitinic and stearic acids, the mono- and di-fatty acid esters of the 1,3-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-5,5-dimethylhydantoins, the mono-, di- and tri-esters of the trimethylalpropane and the full esters of the pentaerythrite.
