“…The discovery of 2-(2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexyl)-4,6-dimethylpyridine [148J and very recently of the optically active 2,4,7a,8,8-pentamethylcyclopenta(f)pyrindan [149J lend considerable support to the correlation of petroleum nitrogen compounds with naturally occurring alkaloids [150]. Other basic nitrogen types reported in petroleum are ct-hydroxybenzo-and benzoquinolines, indoloquinolines, phenanthrolines and tetrahydrocarbazole nines [151J, although the presence of some of these compounds is in dispute [152J, acridines and dihydroacridines are reported in [147J Russian crude oils [153].…”
