The automatical logout ate my message, so this is a short version:
Cocaine and analogues are produced semisynthetically from atropine via hydrolysis, dehydration (tropidine, almost no info on this), epoxidation and further processing.
Especially interesting: Troparil reverse ester (animal testing might be justified-the synthesis of pethidine's reverse ester MPPP yielded MPTP, a very neurotoxic substance).
I couldn't find references, any thoughts?
