Notes:
A new chemical degradation of (-)-kopsine is described which completely confirms the structure of this alkaloid. Correlation of (-)-aspidofractinine, (-)-pleiocarpine and (-)-kopsine with (-)-minovincine establishes the absolute stereochemistry of these bases. It appears that, in contrast to the aspidospermine group, all alkaloids containing the aspidofractinine skeleton possess the same absolute stereochemistry.
