What is Cinchonidine?
Description
Cinchonidine is an alkaloid found in the bark of most varieties of cinchona shrubs. It and its stereoisomer cinchonine have long been used to direct chirality in the synthesis of asymmetric organic compounds.?More recently, Dutch chemists created chiral metals by crystallizing their salts in the presence of cinchonidine.
Chemical properties
white to light yellow crystal powde
The Uses of Cinchonidine
Cinchonidine occurs in most varieties of Cinchona bark and is stereoisomeric with Cinchonine. Cinchonidine exhibits Antimalarial properties.
The Uses of Cinchonidine
antiamebic, antiprotozoal
Definition
ChEBI: 8-epi-Cinchonan in which a hydrogen at position 9 is substituted by hydroxy (R configuration). A diasteroisomer of cinchonine, it occurs in the bark of most varieties of Cinchona shrubs, and is frequently used for directing chirality in asymmetric synthesis.
Flammability and Explosibility
Non flammable
Purification Methods
Crystallise cinchonidine from aqueous EtOH. For the N-benzylcinchonidinium chloride see above entry in this section. [Beilstein 23 III/IV 2824.]
