17-HYDROXYLUPANINE AND 17-OXYLUPANINE

Abstract
Silver oxide has been shown to oxidize lupanine to 17-hydroxylupanine. This base gives an anhydronium perchlorate identical with the "dehydrolupanine (NBS)" perchlorate of Marion and Leonard. 17-Oxylupanine is described, and, from the observation that it can be reduced catalytically to oxysparteine, the stereochemistry of aphylline and oxysparteine is deduced. The basic strength of tertiary carbinolamines is discussed.
