Product description:
Arecoline is an alkaloid natural product found in the areca nut, the fruit of the areca palm (Areca catechu).It is an odourless oily liquid volatile in steam, miscible with most organic solvents and water, but extractable from the latter by ether in presence of dissolved salts. The salts are crystalline, but usually deliquescent; the hydrobromide, B•HBr, forms slender prisms, mp. 177-9 °C from hot alcohol; the aurichloride, B•HAuCl4, is an oil, but the platinichloride, B2•H2PtCl6, mp. 176 °C, crystallises from water in orange-red rhombs. The methiodide forms glancing prisms, mp. 173-4 °C.
