Studies on the Erythrina Alkaloids. II. Alkaloids of Erythrina X bidwillii LINDL. (2). Structure of Erythrinine, a New Erythrina Alkaloid

Abstract

Erythrinine (mp 197-200°) has been isolated from the leaves of Erythrina X bidwilli LINDL. (Leguminosae). Chemical and spectroscopic investigations have shown that erythrinine has the stereostructure shown by formula TV.
