Thc reactions leading to the establishment of structure I for lycopodine are discussed. S t r u c t~~r e s are proposed for three cyclizatioll products derived from lycopodine.I n a short comlnunication (1) we proposed structure I for lycopodine. This structure has been confirmed by the worlt of Anet (2), who succeeded in interconverting several Lycopodiz~m alkaloids, among which was lycopodine. In this paper we wish to give a full account of our worlt on the elucidation of the structure of the alltaloid and t o discuss the structures of the tetracylic compounds obtained on elimination of hydrogen halide from lycopodine methiodide and a-and P-cyanobromolycopodine.
