Here we are obtaining tropine to create tropinone from a natural source; the anticholinergic tropane alkaloids such as atropine, scopolamine, hyocyamine, mandragovine, and other similar tropane alkaloids obtained from the plants in the Solanaceae family, such Belladonna, Datura, Henbane, Brugmansia, and Mandrake. Tropane alkaloids all contain the tropane ring which, when separated from the tropic, scopic, and hyoscopic, and similar acids becomes tropine, which we can use as a source chemical to produce tropinone, which is necessary for creation of synthetic cocaine. | |||

<nomobile>{{decree|type=delete|message=WARNING!!! The anticholinergic tropane alkaloids used are EXTREMELY POISONOUS and can be ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN!!! Please take EXTREME precautions when handling these plants and the resulting anticholinergic tropane alkaloids that lie within. You must give these plants great respect or they will punish you severely. In lieu of waterproof lab attire, using large disposable trash bags to cover the head, body, legs, and arms, as well as safety glasses for the face is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!!! Physostigmine, a cholinergic agent, is the chemical used to reverse the anticholinergic effects and poisoning of the tropane alkaloids. It occurs naturally in the Calabar bean and the fruit of the Manchineel tree.}}</nomobile> |
