Alcaloïde des Canneberges du Nouveau-Brunswick

Summary A new alkaloid C₂₀H₂₂O₂N₂ (cannagunine) obtained from canadian Vaccinium Oxycoccus is shown to have structure 1. The structure of this compound was supported by NMR-, SM-, IR- and UV-spectra.     

Alcaloide des Canneberges II

Summary The separation of a new alkaloid from cranberries leaves was carried out by means of specific solvents and thin layer chromatography. The determination of its molecular structure was made possible by infrared, ultraviolet, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectra and the degradations.
