A furoquinoline alkaloid present in Flindersia dissosperrna and F. rnaculosa
Lindl., the base crystallizes from MeOH or EtOH as colourless needles. The base
is characterized as the hydrochloride, m.p. 205-2100 C (dec.) which is best
obtained from dilute HCI and the picrate, m.p. 198°C (dec.). The structure has
been determined mainly on the basis of the fragmentation pattern of the mass
spectrum.
