ALKALOIDS OF LYCOPODIUM ANNOTINUM: PART II. ISOLATION OF FOUR NEW ALKALOIDS

Abstract

Countercurrent distribution of the alkaloids of Lycopodiumannotinum gave four new bases: annofoline, lycofoline, and α- and β-lofoline. Annofoline, C₁₆H₂₅O₂N, contained a keto and a hydroxyl group. Lycofoline, C₁₆H₂₅O₂N, possessed at least one hydroxyl group and possibly a double bond, α- and β-Lofoline each had the formula C₁₈H₂₉O₃N and contained a hydroxyl and an O-acetyl group.
