Description

The Chinese plant 'Ma-Huang' contains this alkaloid, first isolated by Smith. According to Read, the name 'Ma-Huang' is the name for various Ephedra species but the material principally used in China is E. sinica Stapf. (Syn. E. j7ava Porter Smith, E. Mahuang Liu). It has subsequently been discovered in European species, notably E. helvetica C. A. Meyer and E. distachya Linn. The alkaloid crystallizes in stout, colourless needles and has [α]D - 29.2° (MeOH). It yields several crystalline salts and derivatives: hydrochloride, m.p. 188-9°C; [α]20D - 29.8° (H20); oxalate, m.p. 187°C; aurichloride, m.p. 128-9°C; picrate, m.p. 144°C and the methiodide, m.p. 212-3°C; [α]D - 21.8° (H20).

Chemical Properties

White crystals or adhering crystalline powder

Uses

adrenergic agonist, analeptic

Uses

Used in conjunction with LiAlH4 for chiral reductions

Definition

ChEBI: (1R,2S)-2-(dimethylamino)-1-phenyl-1-propanol is an alkylbenzene.

Purification Methods

N-Methylephedrine has been recrystallised from Et2O, pet ether, of aqueous EtOH or aqueous MeOH and has been distilled under reduced pressure.
