| Abstract: | The crystal structure of luteidine has been deciphered by x-ray structural analysis; there are two molecules in the independent part of its elementary cell. These symmetrically independent molecules differ in structure. The position of the olefinic methoxy group of luteidine has been established. Its structure has been determined as 1-hydroxy-2,12-dimethoxy-9,10-dihydrohomoaporphine.Institute of Biorganic Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent, and V. I.
