Ferrugine (2α-benzoyltropane) is a tropane alkaloid discovered in the basic extract of the Australian rainforest tree Darlingia ferruginea where it occurs in the leaves and stems. The structure has been determined through spectroscopic analysis[1][2] and confirmed by chemical synthesis.[3][4][5]

(+)-Ferrugine is the natural enantiomer, with a reported specific rotation of ° (CHCl3).[2]
