Investigation of an extract of Iphiona aucheri afforded compounds 1–3. These compounds were identified by detailed spectroscopic and spectrometric analysis, however, a literature search revealed that NMR and mass data similar to those of compound 3 have been reported for donine alkaloid 4. Investigation of the experimental and calculated NMR data of compound 4 revealed that the proposed structure should be revised to 3. This was further confirmed by synthesis of compounds 3 and 4.
