Labeled alk‐1‐enyl glyceryl ethers were used in conjunction with thin layer chromatography to study the liberation of aldehydes from alk‐1‐enyl glyceryl ethers by two acid hydrolysis procedures. Both methods gave similar results, but neither liberated the aldehydes quantitatively. Only 75–85% of the alk‐1‐enyl glyceryl ether radioactivity was liberated as free aldehydes. Several nonaldehyde products were detected and one appeared to be a cyclic acetal.
