An Examination of the Rutaceae of Hong Kong. VI. Graveoline, A New Alkaloid from Ruta graveolens

Abstract

A new alkaloid, graveoline, C₁₇H₁₃O₃N, has been isolated in 0.002 per cent yield with kokusaginine and skimmianine from Ruta graveolens. Evidence is cited which suggests that graveoline is a 1-methyl-methylenedioxyphenyl-4-quinolone (see note added in proof).
