Notes:
The revised structure 1 is put forward for peduncularine, the main alkaloid of Aristotelia peduncularis (Labill.) HOOK. F. (Elaeocarpaceae), on the basis of its spectroscopic properties and those of its degradation products, the Hofmann base 3 and the hydrogenation product 4. Structure 1 represents the relative configuration of the alkaloid.Peduncularine belongs to the class of indole alkaloids with a monoterpene unit as the aliphatic portion. To our knowledge it constitutes the first example in which an isopropyl group has become detached from the terpene unit and occurs as a substituent on nitrogen.
