Monoterpene Alkaloids of Scaevola racemigera DÄNIKER Nine alkaloids have been isolated from the aerial parts of Scaevola racemigera. Two of them are the known compounds cantleyine (1) and tetrahydrocantleyine (2). The seven others are novel alkaloids, strychnovoline (3), 6‐O‐nicotinoylstrychnovoline (4), 6‐O‐nicotinoyltetrahydrocantleyine (5), 6‐O‐(5‐vinylnicotinoyl)tetrahydrocantleyine (6), racemigerine (7), 6,7‐epoxyracemigerine (8), and scaevoline (9). The structures of the new compounds have been elucidated by their spectral data and confirmed by chemical correlations. Moreover, the absolute configuration of 2, which had not been previously determined, has been elucidated.
