atropic

Kraut confirmed these results, and showed that atropic acid as well as cinnamic acid gives benzoic acid by oxidation, and hydratropic acid (the isomer of phenylpropionic acid) by reduction with sodium amalgam.

It is to be remarked that they compare hyoscinic acid not with tropic acid, of which it possesses the composition, but with atropic acid, C_ {9} H_ {8} O_ {2}.

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.

Pfeiffer first discovered that benzoic acid was one of the products of decomposition of atropine, and Kraut split atropine by means of baryta water into atropic acid, C_ {9} H_ {6} O_ {2}, and tropine, C_ {8} O_ {15} NO.
