Lysergic Acid




Lysergic acid, also known as '''D-lysergic acid''' and '''(+)-lysergic acid''', is a precursor for a wide range of Ergoline alkaloids that are produced by the Ergot fungus and some plants. Amide s of lysergic acid, commonly called lysergamides, are widely used as Pharmaceuticals and as Hallucinogenic Drug s ( LSD ). Lysergic acid is usually produced by Hydrolysis of lysergamides, but can also be synthesized in the laboratory by a complex Total Synthesis . Lysergic acid is a Chiral compound with two Stereocenter s. The Isomer with inverted configuration at carbon atom 8 close to the Carboxy group is called '''isolysergic acid'''. Inversion at carbon 5 close to the Nitrogen atom leads to '''L-lysergic acid''' and '''L-isolysergic acid''', respectively. Lysergic acid is listed as a Table I precursor under the United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic In Narcotic Drugs And Psychotropic Substances {Link without Title} .
