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 three of the four rings present in lysergic acid. This ketone in turn was transformed into the tetracyclic compound, 9-keto-7-methyl-4,5,5a,6,6a,7,8,9-octahydroindolo-[4.3-fe]-quinoline (8), and thence to Lysergic acid (14). This synthesis isn't simple and takes a lot of laboratory experience and chemistry knowledge. Moreover, there are several manipulations with hazardous substances, which have to be carried out with strict safety measures.

Procedure

1-Benzoyl-3-(beta-carboxyethyl)-2,3-dihydroindole (2)
3-Indolepropionic acid (1), 94.6 g (0.5 mol), was dissolved in 600 mL of water containing 20 g of sodium hydroxide. The solution was mixed with about 100 g of Raney nickel catalyst and hydrogenated at RT in a 2-3 L steel hydrogenation bomb at 3000-4000 psi (207-276 bar) H2 pressure. Reduction was usually complete in 20-30 h, after which the catalyst was filtered and washed with a little water. Concentrated HCl acid, 85 mL, was added to the filtrate, and the solution was cooled. If the reduction was incomplete, unreacted indolepropionic acid separated at this point and was removed by filtration. The filtrate was then benzoylated by the usual Schotten-Baumann procedure, using 210 mL of 12N sodium hydroxide and 180 mL of benzoyl chloride. The solution was kept alkaline throughout the benzoylation, and the temperature was kept below 40 °C by cooling. When the benzoyl chloride was completely reacted, the mixture was cooled and acidified with 300 mL of concentrated HCl acid. The crude product was filtered and washed with water, after which it was extracted with 4 x 1 L portions of hot water to remove the benzoic acid. The hot syrupy product (2), after decantation of the aqueous extract, was crystallized from a few volumes of methanol; yield 103 g (70 %), MP: 151-153 °C.

1-Benzoyl-5-keto-1,2,2a,3,4,5-hexahydrobenz-[cd]-indole (3)
1-Benzoyl-3-(beta-carboxyethyl)-2,3-dihydroindole (2), 118 g (0.4 mol), was mixed with 200 mL of pure thionyl chloride. The solution was allowed to stand for 30 min, after which it was warmed gently for 15-20 min on the steam-bath. Excess thionyl chloride was evaporated completely below 30 °C in vacuo, and the crude acid chloride was dissolved in 200 mL of carbon disulfide. The solution of the acid chloride was then added in a thin stream to a vigorously stirred suspension of 240 g of aluminum chloride in 1750 mL of carbon disulfide contained in a 5 L flask (in HOOD!!!). A complex separated, and stirring became difficult. The mixture was heated under reflux and stirred for one hour to complete the reaction, after which it was decomposed very carefully by adding 500 g of ice, 250 mL of conc. HCl acid and 500 mL of water. During the decomposition, stirring was maintained, and cooling was affected by periodic distillation of the carbon disulfide in vacuo, and the product was extracted with 2 L of benzene. The extract was washed thoroughly with 500 mL of 2N sodium hydroxide in three portions and then with water. It was dried over magnesium sulfate and then evaporated to small volume in vacuo. Slow addition of several volumes of ether caused the yellow ketone (3) to crystallize. It was filtered and washed with ether; yield 85.3 g (77 %), MP: 146-147 °C. A sample was recrystallized for analysis from benzene-ether.

While the reaction mix was illuminated with a 250-watt bulb, 352 g (1.1 mol) of pyridine hydrobromide perbromide was added in portions during minutes with shaking. The solution was warmed to 60 °C and was kept at 55-60 °C for 0.5 h. The mix was treated with carbon and concentrated in vacuo to small volume.

You put the wrong ingredients in the formula
The chain has one less carbon

ChernobaevI think you can carry out typical acid hydrolysis but I'm not sure that you'll get exactly d-lysergic acid isomer instead of racemate.

G.PattonI too am interested by the methyl easter, my first thought is activity & toxicity in the methyl easter form. Has anyboy got information as there so little on it!

Then the same question as Chernbaev, and the answer from G.Patton. Sure hydrolysis would be the way, but the racemate would depend on the methyl easters isomers designation and if it was a racemate itself? D-meth turned back to ephed would be the l-ephed, and not stereoiomers d & l

Sorry if my knowledge is not correct, Im in my second year of my degree and I am still learning

Uh, the significance of fully synthesizing lysergic acid is to demonstrate chemical synthesis technology, which is actually of little practical value. If actual production is required, it will be more realistic to inoculate and cultivate ergot bacteria in biological fermentation reactors.

(13) is lysergic acid methyl ester isn't it?
Also would a simple hydrolysis with KOH (like LA synthesis from ergotamine) work?
I mean what is the nickel and the arsenate role in the reaction?
