Hydroxyevodiamine (rhetsinine), which was synthesized by the KMnO4-oxidation of evodiamine by Asahina and Ohta, and whose structure was recently altered to IV from Asahina's formula (III) by Pachter et al., was isolated from the fruits of Evodia rutaecarpa HOOK fil. et THOMSON. Hydroxyevodiamine (rhetsinine) was also obtained by the photoxidation of evodiamine and the possibility of rhetsinine formation as an artefact was discussed.
