Chemical structure of d-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. Amides of lysergic acid, commonly called lysergamides, are widely used as pharmaceuticals and as psychedelic drugs (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 monohydrate crystallizes in very thin hexagonal leaflets when recrystallized from water. Lysergic acid monohydrate, when dried (140 °C at 2 mmHg) forms anhydrous lysergic acid. Lysergic acid is a chiral compound with two stereocenters. 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 [1].

R. B. Woodward's Total Synthesis of Lysergic Acid - [www.rhodium.ws] (17875 words)
Lysergic acid, the basic fragment derived from the ergot alkaloids, has been synthesized in a fifteen-stage sequence beginning with 3-beta-carboxyethylindole.
With ethylene glycol and toluenesulfonic acid, the aldehyde was converted to the ethylene acetal 53, which was smoothly oxidized by perbenzoic acid to the oxide 54.
The acid chloride was prepared in the customary manner from 23.3g of (0.1mol) of 1-acetyl-3-[beta- carboxyethyl]-2,3-dihydroindole and 50ml (0.698mol) of thionyl chloride.
