Preparation of tropenol of formula (I) (or its acid addition salt) involves: (a) reducing a scopine ester of formula (II) (or its acid addition salt or hydrate) using zinc in presence of an activating metal salt (preferably an iron or copper salt) in a solvent; and (b) saponifying the product using base.
