โฆ Synopsis
Echitamidine' is a minor alkaloid accompanying echitandne in a number of ALetonia species. While the structure of e&i-e--a subject of extensive chetical. investigations3 --has been settled by x-ray analyaisp very little information has been accumulated on its companion, ecbitamidine. Its discoverer, Goodson, ascribed to it the empirical formula c20H26N203 and F&ymond-Hamet5 noted that its ultraviolet absorption spectrum was nearly identical with that of akuammicine.

RECENT studies have demonstrated that mass spectrometry may be a powerful adjunct to the structure elucidation of polycyclic natural products such as alkaloids3'le and steroids.5 These developments have been made possible by improved inlet systems, which permitted the vaporization in an undecomposed
A RECENT investigation2 of the leaves of Vinca difformis has led to an alkaloid mixture, which could be resolved upon chromatography. One of the new alkaloids, vincadifformine, forms the subject of the present communication since its biogenetically very interesting structure (I) was elucidated large
