Mass spectra and proton magnetic resonance spectra of some tetrahydroprotoberberine alkaloids

Abstract

The mass spectra and the proton magnetic resonance spectra of tetrahydroprotoberberine alkaloids, oxygenated at the 9- and 10-positions, show marked differences from the spectra of those oxygenated at the 10- and 11-positions. These differences may be useful in structural studies on new members of this group of alkaloids.
