โฆ Synopsis
Atisine (l), an alkaloid of Aconitum heterophyllum Wall, is usually isolated' as the salt, atisinium chloride (2), and can be regenerated from this salt by treatment with strong base. Atisine is a very strong base (pKa 12.8) that may be isamerized easily to isoatisine (3) (pKa 10.3) by refluxing in methanol or other hydroxylic solvents. 2 In 1970, Pradhan and Girijavallabhan3 concluded that atisine in solution contains an 1 2 4

The solvent was removed in vacua, the residue was treated with 15 ml \_of sodium carbonate solution, and the mixture was extracted with three 1 Oml portions of chloroform. The combined extracts were dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and evaporated in vacua to give amorphous -dihydroveatchinone, i
One phase of any successful totally synthetic approach to the construction of the diterpenoid alkaloids atisine (l)l and garryfoline (2)1'2 must be the elaboration of the C/D bicyclic ring system. While a method for the construction of such ring systems would be premature without the availability of
