Zusammenfassung

Die Massenspektren und1H- und13C-NMR-Spektren der Gelsemium-Alkaloide Gelsemin, Gelsedin und Gelsevirin wurden aufgenommen und vollständig analysiert. Gelsevirin wurde durch Reduktion in Gelsemin übergeführt und besitzt die Struktur des Na-Methoxygelsemins.

  7. On the assumption of Lewis acid-base complexation affecting the chemical shifts the previous CMR spectrum of gelsemine (1a)6, run at ca. 1.5M concentration, was not used for the comparison study. Further, the former spectrum was recorded on a continuous wave spectrometer, while the present study utilized a Fourier Transform spectrometer.
