Scopine is a tropane alkaloid found in a variety of plants including Mandragora root, [2] Senecio mikanioides (Delairea odorata), [3] Scopolia carniolica , [4] and Scopolia lurida . [5]
Scopine can be prepared by the hydrolysis of scopolamine. [1] [6] [7] It can also be prepared in three steps from N-methoxycarbonylpyrrole and 1,1,3,3-tetrabromoacetone; the reagents are combined in a [4+3] cycloaddition, followed by a diastereoselective reduction with diisobutylaluminum hydride, and finally a Prilezhaev epoxidation with trifluoroperacetic acid affords scopine.
