Summary
1. The polarographic behavior of six benzoisoquinoline alkaloids has been investigated. In the reduction of thalfine, thalsimine, and thalsimidine the products of the electrode reactions are the corresponding tetrahydro derivatives.
2. The size of the catalytic current can be used for a comparative evaluation of the basicities of this series of alkaloids.
