Hyoscine is an ester of an organic acid known as "tropic acid" with a complex organic base called :
Answer: D
The base is scopine.
Hyoscine (scopolamine), an alkaloid of Datura and Hyoscyamus, is the ester of tropic acid with scopine, an epoxide derivative of tropine. Atropine (racemic hyoscyamine) is the ester of tropic acid with tropine, so the two alkaloids differ only in their base.
Atropine is itself an ester, not the base. Tropine is the base of atropine, not of hyoscine, and an oxime is a class of compounds (used as cholinesterase reactivators such as pralidoxime), not this base.
