Tropane alkaloids are molecules which contain a substituted tropane ring in their structure. Tropane is a nitrogen-containing bicyclic organic molecule, which consists of a piperidine and pyrrolidine ring fused at carbons R<sub>1</sub> and R<sub>5</sub> along with an additional methyl substitution at R<sub>N</sub>. Tropane alkaloids are commonly substituted at R<sub>3</sub> with an ether bridge, as seen in [[scopolamine]], [[atropine]], [[hyoscyamine]], and [[cocaine]].
