Abstract

A description is given of the isolation of crude hydrochlorides (200 g) of quaternary bases from 1136 kg of fly mushroom (Amanita muscaria L.). Paper chromatograms of these hydrochlorides, using butanol:water:pyridine (6 :3 :2) showed, on development with the Levine-Chargaff reagent, six visible spots with the following RF values: 0.02, 0.09, 0.14, 0.18, 0.24 and 0.31. Preparative chromatography on cellulose columns, with 1.5 N ammonia-saturated n-butanol, yielded the muscarine fraction, which gave after purification muscarine hydrochloride showing RF 0.26.
