Tropinon is a synthetic alkaloid with a tropane core structure, which is also found in naturally occurring alkaloids such as. B. Cocaine and Atropine finds.

synthesis

The first synthesis of tropinone was carried out by Richard Willstätter in 1901. He used the apparently related cycloheptanone as a starting material, which he then used to produce tropinone in several steps, but only with a yield of 0.75%. Willstätter had previously been the first to synthesize cocaine from tropinone, which provided information about the chemical structure of cocaine.

The first total synthesis was carried out in 1917 by Robert Robinson and was improved in 1935 by Clemens Schöpf , which is why it is also known as the Robinson-Schöpf reaction . It is a multicomponent reaction . Tropinone is produced from the starting materials methylamine , succinaldehyde and acetone dicarboxylic acid .
