Lysergic Online

Lysergic acid can be synthesized in biosynthetic route depending on the alkylation of tryptophan amino acid with the dimethylallyl diphosphate (an isoprene obtained from the 3R-mevalonic acid) resulting in 4 – dimethylallyl-L-tryptophan. This 4 – dimethylallyl-L-tryptophan is then N-methylated in the presence of S- adenosyl-L-methionine.

This oxidative closure of the ring is then followed by subsequent processes of oxidation, cyclization, reduction, decarboxylation and finally lands in allylic isomerization yielding D – (+) – lysergic acid. The lysergic acid belongs to the category of chiral compounds carrying two stereocenters. Isolysergic acid is the name of the isomer that possesses an inverted configuration in the position of 8th carbon atom that lies next to carboxy group.

Interestingly, the inversion process that was carried out at the 5 th carbon of the nitrogen atom results in the L-isolysergic acid and L-lysergic acid. This lysergic acid got its position under Table 1 precursor of the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances.
