Toxicity

Piperidine alkaloid obtained
from poison hemlock, Conium maculatum. Alkaline, steam
volatile liquid (b.p. 167C), mousy odor. Darkens and polymerizes
in air. It can be reduced at high temperature with HI
to n-octane and oxidized to pyridine-1-carboxylic acid. The
hydrochloride is used as an antispasmodic.
