Abstract

The previously reported physoperuvine, an alkaloid isolated from the roots of Physalis peruviana, has been found to be a hydrochloride and its structure has been settled as 3 by X-ray analysis. The forms of existence of physoperuvine, a free base, and its hydrochloride have been studied, revealing that while the salt remains exclusively in the amino-alcohol form (3), the free base is an equilibrium mixture of the amino-alcohol (1) and the amino-ketone (2), the equilibrium being shifted toward the former.
