Studies in the Alkaloids of Rauwolfia caffra Sonder

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Ajmaline, ajmalicine, diacetyl ajmaline, 17–0 — acetyl ajmaline, perakine, two phytosterols and four new indolenine alkaloids (raucaffricine, raucaffriline, raucaffinoline and raucaffridin) have been isolated from the roots and root bark of Rauwolfia caffra Sonder. The structure of raucaffricine, raucaffriline and raucaffrinoline have been elucidated mainly on the basis of spectroscopic studies.
