Tropane (8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]-octane) is a bridged bicyclic N-containing compound. The 8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]-octane has a tropane ring system, which is an important substructure in a number of natural products and synthetic compounds of biological and medicinal importance. Production of tropane alkaloid in callus and root cultures of seven Hyoscyamus species has been studied. Tropane derivatives are reported to undergo rapid N-methyl inversion.
