Abstract
The periodate oxidation of lycoctonam and des(oxymethylene)-lycoctonam gives rise to diketones, showing that lycoctonine contains a ditertiary vicinal glycol. Evidence is presented relating two of the methoxyl groups to this glycol system. The properties and reactions of isomeric compounds formed by the action of weak base or activated alumina on the diketones are discussed and possible explanations of the isomerization considered. The unusual spectra of the various compounds are discussed.Keywords
