J. Liq. Chromatogr. Relat. Technol. 32, 1711-1732 (2009). The authors described the TLC methods available for the analysis of acidic monosaccharides, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides derived from natural sources. TLC methods for the separation and visualization of monosaccharides are examined, as well as the successful application of TLC for ganglioside analysis and the application of these separations to neoglycolipids prepared from less tractable oligosaccharides and strong acidic animal polysaccharides, such as glycosaminoglycans.

Detection by dipping into diphenylamine-aniline-phosphoric acid reagent (2 % solution of diphenylamine and aniline, each in phosphoric acid – methanol 1:4), followed by heating at 150 ºC for 3 min. Qualitative identification using white light illumination. The hRF values for (1) to (7) were 1, 15, 22, 28, 37, 54 and 83, respectively.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 10, 406-410 (1997). To study the relationship between chemical structure and retention behavior in TLC on silica, the retention constants of variously substituted 1,2-O-isopropylidene derivatives of aldohexoses and 1,2-O-cyclohexylidene derivatives of aldopentoses were measured as a function of the composition of eight binary mobile phases. The slopes and intercepts of the linear relationships between the retention constant (RM) and the logarithm of the volume fraction of the polar mobile phase component were calculated and are discussed in relation to solute and mobile phase characteristics. The RF values and relative retention of compounds depend largely on the retention behavior of their substituents.
