Abstract:
From the endemic Cuban species Rauvolfia salicifolia GRISEB nine alkaloids were isolated of which the following seven had been already described: (+)-ajmalidine ( I ), (-)-reserpiline ( II ), (-)-isoreserpiline ( III ), (-)-isocarapanaubine ( IV ), (-)-ajmalicine ( V ), (+)-vellosimine ( VI ), and (+)-yohimbine ( VII ). The structure of (-)-raucubaine ( VIII ) had been previously determined by X-ray diffraction and the structure of the alkaloid (-)-raucubainine ( IX ) was suggested on the basis of its conversion to (-)-raucubaine ( VIII ). The absolute configuration of (-)-raucubaine and (-)-raucubainine was elucidated by CD spectroscopy.
