Abstract
Abstract Six-month-old Cynoglossum officinale plants were fed via the roots with tiglic acid-[1-14C]. After a week the plants were harvested, the alkaloid heliosupine was isolated and hydrolysed to heliotridine and angelic acid. The latter contained all the radioactivity of the original heliosupine showing that angelic acid may be formed from tiglic acid by a cis-trans isomerization.
