Try google there is plenty of info there ......also use the search engine on this forum as books and discussion have been posted.........solo

i plan to do alot of research on my own.. just wondering if there is anyone here that is experienced with it.. in case i have specific questions or
need guidance...

Most people have some experience - making tea, coffee, yerba mate, or drinking tonic (quinine) water.
Outside of that there is such a wide range of alkaloids that the question is somewhat along the lines of "anyone here experienced with traveling??"

Some of us even pyrolytically extract the alkaloid nicotine from dried plant material.

LOL! sauron the all seeing!
Didn't your O chem professor ever make U extract nicotine from tobacco > the regular way?

No, actually. I think we did steam distill an essential oil out of an herb once, but I do not recall any nicotine extraction in either of my two years
of organic teaching lab.
Of course that was during the Dark Ages.

In our library

Yes I already pointed him at the forum library, in his essentially duplicative "Questions from a New Guy" thread, where in addition to the two volumes
on alkaloids there are some on the essential oils, and of course that does not exhaust the possible materials from plants.

ok so aparently the answer is NO, there is nobody here who's focus is on plant alkaloids.
Well i guess threre is now... i beter start reading...

You don't know enough about this topic to be able to ask intelligent and specific questions. To questions as broad and general as you did ask, the
answers would be as long as a book. So, go do your homework and when you have armed yourself with a little knowledge then you may be worthy of
attention from this forum.
And next time don't ask about extraction of mescaline from cactus.

I think you are correct..
however i am absorbing this stuff like a sponge
started here
http://www.biology.arizona.edu/biochemistry/tutorials/chemis...
http://www.steve.gb.com/science/biochemical_nomenclature.htm...
http://www.docnmail.com/learnmore/chemistry.htm
I am learning about the bonds and at the same time learning specific traits of atoms with certain structures (like alkyl, alcohol, etc)
I know what a nitrogen ring is (kinda important if i want to study alkaloids)
In a few days/weeks, ill be back to ask some inteligent questions... till then ill doing some reading... ok, allot of reading...

Sounds like a good start.
The Merck Index would be a good acquisition.

Find a copy of the U.S. Dispensary from the late 1800's. Try a university library by all means. You will find detailed extractions for most of the
medically interesting alkaloids in the book.

I have just posted download links for a large collection of Organic Chemistry textbooks and reference works, including the Merck Index, in the Organic
Chemistry Books thread in the references section.
