Chemistry:Dehydrosecodine

From HandWiki

Dehydrosecodine is a terpene indole alkaloid. The compound is believed to be an unstable O-acetylated secodine type intermediate in the formation of catharanthine and tabersonine from stemmadenine.[1] The enzyme tabersonine synthase converts it to tabersonine:[2]
