The formula of conine, C_ {8} H_ {17} N, shows it to be homologous with piperidine, C_ {5} H_ {11} N, a derivative of piperine, the alkaloid of pepper, to be spoken of later; and, just as piperidine is derived from pyridine by the action of reducing agents, so conine is probably derived from a propyl-pyridine.
