There is hardly more than academic interest in this item. Heliotropine in today’s high-purity grade causes very little trouble in soap, and most soaps are not nearly as alkaline as they were 15 or 25 years ago, when the discoloration in soap from use of (impure) Heliotropine was a common problem and caused the chemists to search for more stable derivatives.
Produced from Heliotropine and Methanol with a dehydrating agent.
