LSD synthesis video

[psy]

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, starting from cafergot pills. The ergotamine would be extracted with ethyl acetate/hexanes, and separated by column chromatography from the other ingredients within the pills. It will be hydrolyzed a la Shulgin to lysergic acid. It will then, be reacted with diethylamine with a peptide coupling reagent. Followed by workup to get LSD. I am not going to bother with the tartrate salt as I don't intend to purify it past this point.

If you'd like to support this project you can buy some magic powders from me. If I get enough orders or enough interest, I will do it. Sorry to blue ball you all with an advertisement, but I can't do this all for free unfortunately.

For those who think I am full of shit:

We are willing to buy a synthesis video from you if it is done well. Contact our experts if you are interested in the offer.

That would be so cool, especially if explanations/advice is added to each step (e.g. what to look out for, how to prepare each material etc.). I would contribute to buying such video, Heisenberg, let me know if the deal is going ahead.

diogenesIt is currently being worked out; however I could show how to dry DCM with phosphorus pentoxide, synthesis of the catalyst for the peptide coupling reaction, freebasing the diethylamine from its salt, how to run a column, brief explanation on extractions, etc...
It is advanced chemistry but I could do my best to present it in a way most will understand.
