Chemistry:Tropine

From HandWiki

Tropine is a derivative of tropane containing a hydroxyl group at the third carbon. It is also called 3-tropanol.[1] It is a poisonous white hygroscopic crystalline powder.[2] It is a heterocyclic alcohol and an amine.[2]

Tropine is a central building block of many chemicals active in the nervous system, including tropane alkaloids. Some of these compounds, such as long-acting muscarinic antagonists are used as medicines because of these effects.[3]

Occurrence

Tropine is a natural product found in the plants of deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna) and devil's trumpet (Datura stramonium).[4]

Chemistry

Synthesis

It can be prepared by hydrolysis of atropine[5] or other solanaceous alkaloids.[2][6]

In the laboratory it is made by the reduction of tropinone:[7] Patent:[8][9]
