Abstract
The phytochemical study of the bark of Malaysian Phoebe scortechinii (Lauraceae) has resulted in the isolation and identification of two new proaporphine alkaloids; (þ)-scortechiniine A (1) and (þ)-scortechiniine B (2) together with two known proaporphines;(�)-hexahydromecambrine A (3), (�)-norhexahydromecambrine A (4), and one aporphine; norboldine (5). Structural elucidations of these alkaloids were performed using spectroscopic methods especially 1D and 2D 1 H and 13 C NMR.
