Abstract

From S. nemorensis L., var. subdecurrens GRISEB. there were isolated the previously obtained alkaloids nemorensine (I), retroisosenine (II), bulgarsenine (III) and, in addition, the alkaloid oxynemorensine which was assigned the structure VIII on the basis of the interpretation of the 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass spectra, and on that of the identification of the products of hydrolysis and reduction. Furthermore, the isolation of the cis-nemorensic acid (V) as well as that of the unsaturated acid IV, and the transformation of bulgarsenine (III) to nemorensine (I) were described.
