Floriani has recently examined bark from Aspidosperma quebracho bianco Schlecht f. pendulas Speg, in which he found the known alkaloids, quebrachine (yohimbine) and aspidospermine, as well as Hesse s aspidosamine, C2gH2g02N2, and a new base, aspidospermicine, Ci Hj ON, l-SHjO (1938). Hartmann and Schlittler have shown that the alkaloid vallesine from Vallesia glabra (Apocynaceae) is aspidospermine, and this has been confirmed by Deulofeu et aJ. who have also found it in V. dichotoma. Later Schlittler and Rottenberg by chromatographic analysis of the mother liquors of aspidospermine isolated a second alkaloid for which they used the old name Vallesine (1948). ...

The copper-alkoxo unit, which is usually synthesized in situ, plays a significant role in metal-promoted transformations of organic substrates by copper(I). To determine the reaction form of the Cu-OPh unit, Floriani and co-workers structurally characterized four complexes (772) (pseudotetrahedral Cu-Cu 3.223 AT (773) (pseudotetrahedral), (774) ( anion linear coordination) and (775) (planar trigonal).57 Using 3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-l-thia-4-cycloheptyne as terminal ligand the structural characterization of a copper(I)-alkyne complex (776) (Cu-Cu 2.940 A) was reported.573...
