Alkaloids ofRhinopetalum bucharicum. The structure of rhinolinine

The combined alkaloids of the epigeal part ofRhinopetalum bucharicum have yielded solanidine, rhinoline, imperialine, a base with mp 272–274°C, and the new alkaloid rhinolinine with mp 301–302°C (methanol), ]_D — 36.5° (c 1.7, ethanol), C₄₀H₆₇NO₁₂. On the basis of a study of IR and NMR spectra, and also passage to the known alkaloids rhinoline and rhinolidine, the structure of rhinolidine 3-O-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(14)--D-glucopyranoside] has been established for rhinolinine.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.
