- aldotetroses that creates optically active aldaric acidsAll statement true about solanaceous alkaloids except: solanaceous alkaloids are esters of the bicyclic aminoalcohol 3-hydroxytropane or of related aminoalcohols. have been modified by preparing other esters of 3-a-tropanol or making a quaternary of the nitrogen in tropanol or scopine with a methyl halide. The aminoalcohol derived from scopolamine, namely tropin, has the axial orientation of the 3-hydroxyl group but, in addition, a B-oriented epoxy group bridged across the 6,7 positions several different solanaceous alkaloids known, it has been indicated that (-)- hyoscyamine, atropine, and scopolamine are the most important.Explore the difference etween amylopectin and glycogen.
