Description
This atisine alkaloid has been isolated from Aconitum talassicum and Delphinium
denudatum thereby providing a link between the bases of these two genera. From
moist solvents, the alkaloid forms a crystalline monohydrate, m.p. 116-7°C.
The methiodide has m.p. 200°C and the oxalate, m.p. 185-6°C. Three hydroxylgroups are present which may be acetylated. The 10-acetate is identical with
Condelphine (q.v.); the 1: 10-diacetate has m.p. 112-7°C and the triacetate,
m.p. 130-4°C.
