obamegine Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
A bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid present in Berberis tachonoskyana, the base may be recrystallized from C6H6 when it forms colourless needles containing solvent, m.p. 135-6°C (dec.). It is dextrorotatory with [α] 9 D + 98.5° (MeOH). Two methoxyl groups, two phenolic hydroxyl groups and two methylimino groups are present in the molecule. The O,O-dimethyl ether is identical with iso_x0002_tetrandrine and the corresponding diethyl ether crystallizes as small granules with m.p. 196-8°C; [α] 25 D+ 140°. The structure given has been determined primarily from the mass spectrum.
Definition
