Abstract

The direct nitration of brevicolline, brevicarine, and methyl-, acetyl-, and hydroxybrevicarine with concentrated nitric acid gave 6- and 8-nitrobrevicolline and 6,8-dinitro derivatives of the enumerated compounds. 6-Nitroharman was obtained by oxidation of 6-nitrobrevicolline to 6-nitroharman-4-carboxylic acid and subsequent decarboxylation.
