Abstract
Treating plant extracts with ammonium hydroxide and acetone can give rise to the formation of artifacts, which are difficult to distinguish from the actual plant alkaloids. These artifacts give positive reactions with several of the standard qualitative alkaloid test reagents. Similar reactions are also obtained from mixtures of equal volumes of concentrated ammonium hydroxide and acetone.
