Abstract
The crystal structure of axillarine hydrobromide ethanol solvate has been determined from analysis of photographic Xโray data. The crystal system is orthorhombic, space group P2~1~2~1~2~1~, with unit cell dimensions a = 9.89, b = 11.23, c = 20.83 ร . The structure was determined by means of Patterson and Fourier syntheses, and refined by the method of leastโsquares to an R index of 9.4%.
The structural features of axillarine are noted and compared with those of several other pyrrolizidine alkaloids. The NMR. chemical shift difference between the signals due to the nonโequivalent C(9) protons in alkaloids derived from retronecine is also discussed.

## Abstract 1,2โDidehydrocrotalanine (**2**) is the first synthetic macrocyclic pyrrolizidine alkaloid analogue to be studied by Xโray crystallography. The crystal structure was solved by multisolution direct methods and refined by fullโmatrix leastโsquares to __R__ = 0.036 for 693 reflections. The
Sceleratine [l] and its N-oxide [Z] have been isolated from Senecio ZatifoZius DC and their structures determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods and X-ray crystal= lography. Recently we isolated the N-oxide of merenskine [3],' a new pyrrolizidine alkaloid N-oxide from Senecio Zatifolius DC.'
