Abstract
A METHOD for the qualitative analysis of sulphoxides on paper chromatograms, based on the well-known property of these compounds to oxidize hydroiodic acid to free iodine, has recently been published by Thompson et a1.1. In the course of our work on the metabolism of some sulphur compounds, we had the opportunity, some years ago, to adapt the same reaction to paper chromatography, and to test its specificity over a wide range of cystine and cystamine derivatives2–6.
