Robinson's landmark synthesis of tropinone

Abstract

The 1917 total synthesis of tropinone by Sir Robert Robinson represents a landmark achievement in organic synthesis. Decades ahead of its time in terms of its retrosynthetic logic and biomimetic approach, the elegant combination of these two elements in this synthesis continues to serve as an inspiration for the development of new and efficient strategies for complex molecule synthesis.
