| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
This alkaloid belongs to the isoquinoline group and is one of the cactus bases
being found in Lophocereus schottii. It is a colourless oil giving a crystalline
picrate and a styphnate with m.p. 191.5-193°C and 171-2°C respectively. The
structure has been established as 1:2:3:4-tetrahydro-7-hydroxy-l-isobutyl-6-
methoxy-2-methylisoquinoline. It yields a methyl ether, forming a picrate, m.p.
180-2°C and a styphnate, m.p. 210-2°C. The corresponding ethyl ether also
gives a picrate and styphnate with m.p. ISO-3°C and 182-3°C respectively. | [Definition]
