      W. PISTERNICK, D. GÜNDISCH, K.A. KOVAR* (Pharm. Inst. der Univ. Tübingen, Auf der Morgenstelle 8, D-72076 Tübingen, Germany)

      J. Planar Chromatogr. 9, 286-288 (1996). HPTLC of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamines of the ecstasy group (MDA - 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine, MDMA - N-methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine, MDE - N-ethyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine) on silica with ethyl acetate - acetone - methanol - 25% NH3 10:10:4:1. After careful removal of the mobile phase, NH3 in particular, derivatization with OBPB solution (26.3 mg in 100 ml acetone or methanol) by dipping the chromatogram three times, 2 s each. The plate was heated at 100°C for 5 min for stabilization. The reagent solution is stable for several months if stored in the refrigerator protected from light. Densitometry before derivatization at 283 nm and after derivatization at 355 nm; recording of spectra.
