Note 491 — PART VI.—ALKALOIDS AND POISONOUS VEGETABLE PRINCIPLES SEPARATED FOR THE MOST PART BY ALCOHOLIC SOLVENTS. (continued 4)
Reading edition
A. Ladenburg (Compt. Rend., xc. 92), having succeeded in reproducing atropine by heating tropine and tropic acid with hydrochloric acid, by substituting various organic acids for the tropic acid, has obtained a whole series of compounds to which he has given the name of tropeines. One of these, hydroxytoluol (amygdalic) tropeine, he has named homatropine. It dilates the pupil, but is less poisonous than atropine.
