Application

Tropic acid can be used as a substrate in:
  • Esterification of carboxylic acids and alcohols in the presence of dried Dowex H+/NaI catalyst system.
  • Multistep synthesis of cyclic pentadepsipeptides.
  • Synthesis of an isocoumarin derivative by reacting with tetracyanobenzene (TCNB) via multicomponent photo reaction.

Tropic acid is used in the synthesis of (−)-anisodine, atropine and hyoscyamine.
