The structures (including conformation and absolute configuration) of myrtine and epimyrtine, quinolizidine alkaloids from Vaccinium myrtillus, are reported.The two bases are obtainable from pelletierine by Mannich condensation with acetaldehyde, or can be derived stereospecifically by 1,4-nucleophilic addition to enaminones.They have been resolved with tartaric acid.The isomerization of myrtine is discussed.
