Abstract:  From the fraction "L" of the alkaloid mixture of the common box (Buxus sempervirens L.) a new alkaloid was isolated and its structure elucidated. It happened to be the first Buxus alkaloid characterized by a trans- α, β-unsaturated cyclopentenone in its molecule; alkaloids of this kind are believed to be artifacts and consequently, no trivial name has been given to this substance.
