Synopsis

Excerpt from The Vegetable Alkaloids

An attempt was made by Konigs in 1880 to develop a rational classification of the bases found in plants. Investigations on the constitution Of these substances showed that, if not all, at least a large number of them yielded pyridine as the ultimate product of their decomposition. It was natural, then, to infer that they were derivatives Of this base, just as the aromatic compounds are derivatives of benzol. Konigs suggested that the term alkaloids be reserved for those natural bases which are pyridine derivatives.
