Abstract

A high-performance liquid-chromatographic method was devised which is capable of resolving the p-nitrobenzoyl derivatives of polyprenols containing 35-110 or more carbon atoms. This procedure was used for the determination of ficaprenol and pig liver dolichol composition and can be applied to mixtures of polyprenols as an analytical or preparative technique.
