Tropane is anitrogenousbicyclicorganic compound. It is mainly known for the otheralkaloids derived from it, which includeatropine andcocaine, among others.Tropane alkaloids occur inplants of the familiesErythroxylaceae (includingcoca) andSolanaceae (includingmandrake,henbane,deadly nightshade,datura,potato,tomato).[2][3]
Structurally, tropane iscycloheptane with a nitrogen bridge between carbons 1 and 5 and an additionalmethyl group attached to the nitrogen. While carbons 1 and 5 areasymmetric carbons, tropane itself is optically inactive due to mirror symmetry.
8-Azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane (tropane without theN-methyl group) is known asnortropane ornor-tropane.[4]
