CAS 552-63-6

(±)-Tropic acid

Description:

(±)-Tropic acid, with the CAS number 552-63-6, is a bicyclic organic compound that serves as an important intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and alkaloids. It is characterized by its molecular formula, which typically includes carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. The compound exists as a racemic mixture, meaning it contains equal parts of its enantiomers, which can exhibit different biological activities. (±)-Tropic acid is known for its role in the synthesis of tropane alkaloids, such as atropine and scopolamine, which have significant medicinal properties, including anticholinergic effects. The compound is generally a white to off-white crystalline solid, and it is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its melting point and other physical properties can vary based on purity and specific conditions. In terms of safety, (±)-Tropic acid should be handled with care, as with many organic compounds, due to potential toxicity and irritant properties.

Tropic acid

CAS: 552-63-6

Tropic acid is a fatty acid that can be synthesized by adding a hydroxyl group to the carboxylic acid group of malonic acid. The hydroxyl group can be added through the use of hydrogen in an acidic solution, which creates a hydroxyl ion and a hydrogen ion. Hydrogen ions are able to break down the hydrogen bonds in malonic acid, while the hydroxyl ions react with water to form water molecules and create an alkaline environment. Tropic acid has been used as a pharmaceutical preparation for human urine samples, as well as an analytical method to measure benzalkonium chloride levels in human serum. Its optimum pH level is 7-9, and it has x-ray crystal structures available for viewing at 2.5A resolution.
