Abstract
Degradations of allosecurinine (III) gave the N-acetyl amino-lactone (IX), lactam-car-binol C (XIII), quinolizidine C (XVI), tetrahydroallosecurinine (XVIII) and compound (XIX). Identifications of the former three compounds (IX), (XIII) and (XVI) with the corresponding synthetic specimens provided a definite proof for the relative configuration of allose-curinine (III).
