Abstract

A practical preparation of the quinolizinium and dehydroquinolizinium ions is reported. The dehydroquinolizinium ion, which is the parent nucleus of many alkaloids, has been subjected to chemical and spectral studies which substantiate its assigned structure. An attempt to obtain quinolizine, as the free base, gave only I-(a-pyridyl)-1, 3-butadiene.
