The molecular formula of the Lycopodium alkaloid lycodine has been revised to C16H22N2. Transformation of β-obscurine (I) into N-methyl lycodine has shown that lycodine is the pyridine analogue of des-N-methyl-β-obscurine and is represented by structure II (R=H). The transformation of β-obscurine into α-obscurine is also described.
