Treatment of colchicine with concentrated sulfuric acid at 80-90 C afforded besides 2-demethylcolchicine a mixture of catecholiccolchicines which could be separated and identified. Similar treatmentof 1-demethyland 3-demethylcolchicine gave predominantly the 1, 2-catechol or its 2, 3 isomer. Methylenation of these catechols afforded the colchicine congeners 1 and 10. A comparison with natural cornigerine revealed that the alkaloid was identical with the 2, 3-methylenedioxy compound 10 and notwith 1, as formerly proposed.Cornigerine, an alkaloid from Colchium cornigerum species, was isolated by Santavy et al. in 19612 and reported to exhibit similar biological activities as colchicine. 3 Structure 1 for cornigerine, with a 1, 2-methylenedioxy ring annulated to the aromatic ring A of colchicine replacing the two original methoxy groups, was proposed on the basis of a NMR analysis and by chemical degradation4 (see structures 1 and 10). It is interesting to note that the
