From its Rf value and the melting point of a mixture, it was identified as ervineceine [2 ]. According to these results, the properties of the base with mp 205-206°C are identical with those of vincine [3 ]. The results of a comparison of the Rf values, the IR and mass spectra and the melting points of Nacetylvinerine and the base with mp 152-153°C showed their complete identity.
