Abstract
The previously unknown 19α-20,21-dehydroheteroyohimbine, 19-epicathenamine (3a), its water adducts (6), and cathenamine (2a) from which it is apparently formed, have been obtained by glucolysis of strictosidine (1); 2H and 18O studies indicate that the 19β/19α interconversion in water does not involve a dienamine (8) or (6).Keywords
