Sentences with TROPINE (5)
Lassen, who used hydrochloric acid, discovered the true products of the splitting up of atropine, viz., tropic acid, C_{9}H_{8}O_{3}, and tropine, C_{8}H_{15}N, and proved at the same time that atropic acid is easily formed by the action of boiling baryta water on tropic acid, while hydrochloric acid at all temperatures forms isatropic acid, an isomer of atropic acid.
Lately we have succeeded in performing the complete synthesis of atropic acid, and the artificial preparation of atropine has been greatly facilitated since I have shown that we can easily reconstruct atropine by starting from its products of decomposition, tropic acid, and tropine.
