Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 49P
16-54 Several poisonous plants, including Atropa
belladonna, contain the alkaloid atropine. The name “belladonna” (which means “beautiful lady”) probably comes from the fact that Roman women used extracts from this plant to make themselves more attractive. Atropine is widely used by ophthal mologists and optometrists to dilate the pupils for eye examination.
- Classify the amino group in atropine as primary, secondary, or tertiary.
