Thermodynamic properties of alkaloids lappaconitine and glaucine

Calorimetric methods were used to study the enthalpy of solution of the alkaloids glaucine C₂₁H₂₅NO₄ and lappaconitine C₃₂H₄₄N₂O₈ in 96% ethanol and their heat capacity in the temperature ranges 173–298.15 and 173–423 K. Equations describing the dependences ΔH _sol ^m ～ f( $sqrt m $ ) (m is molal concentration) and C _p ⁰ ～ f( $sqrt T $ ) for the compounds under study were derived. The enthalpies of combustion, melting, and formation of C₂₁H₂₅NO₄ and C₃₂H₄₄N₂O₈ were estimated by means of theoretical calculations.
