Hello friends, I have been planning a synthesis of LSD for a little while. If you would like to see this, let me know. Odds are, I am going to do it anyway, with or without a camera recording, so I am trying to figure out if it is worth the hassle. The synthesis would be on a 100mg scale...

I was wondering if there is a way to obtain said substance from another chemical precursor, just like you can obtain MDP2P from PMK's ethyl glycidate. I have seen in this forum that there is the synthesis of lysergic acid but I see that it is very complex and requires someone experienced and...

What is the best solvent and method for LA recrystallization? I’ve read in Otto Snows book that water can be used. I know that LA is almost completely insoluble in water at RT. Other than that what solvent can be used? Also I feel like I’d struggle to hot filter it without it crashing out so...

Introduction Lysergic acid, the basic fragment derived from the ergot alkaloids, has been synthesized in a fourteen sequence beginning with 3-beta-carboxyethylindole. The starting material was converted to the intermediate 1-benzoyl-5-keto-1,2,2a-3,4,5-hexahydrobenz-[cd]-indole (3), containing...
