Indefinite I I OAc The root bark of Rauwolfia nitida yields this yohimbine-type alkaloid which has been ob­ tained as an off-white amorphous powder having no definite melting point. The base is lae­ 2 vorotatory with a specific rotation of [aJ5 -89° (c 0. 01, CHCI ) and gives an ultraviolet 3 spectrum in MeOH with absorption maxima at 225,284 and 290 nm. The structure has been established from chemical and spectroscopic analysis. M. A. Amer, W. E.
