Abstract: | The structures of the alkaloid deoxyvasicinone and of its complexes with HCl and CoCl2·2HCl have been established by the method of x-ray structural investigation. The formation of complex salts of deoxyvasicinone differs from that of alkaloids with similar structures - peganine and deoxypeganine.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, fax (3712) 89 14 75.
