Abstract

In an earlier account1 of the isolation of alkaloids from the leaves of Acronychia baueri Schott, the identification was reported of a number of 10-methylacridones (melicopicine, melicopidine, melicopine, and 2,4-dimethoxy-10-methylacridone) and furoquinolines (skimmianine, kokusaginine, acronycidine, and acronidine). A minor base, CllHllNO, m.p. 178-17g0, isolated as a picrate, m.p. 234-23B0, in the course of this earlier investigation1 has now been identified as 1,2-dimethylquinol-4-one, which has previously been reported to occur as an alkaloid in another rutaceous species, Platydesma campanulata Mann.a A second minor base, C,,Hl,NO,, has been identified as xanthevodine (2,3-methylenedioxy-1,4-dimethoxyacridone) which was previously isolated as an alkaloid of Evodia xanihoxyloides F. Muell.
