Anyone have a good overview of a synth of lysergic acid?
I've been looking into coupling agents (like DCC) but this step seems only nessary to form LSD itself
(instead of POCl3).

There are loads of references for this at my page. http://rhodium.lycaeum.org/chemistry/lsdsyn.txt for example.

Search for DCC in the serious chem forum at the ol board and you will find a nice discussion of different coupling agents.

awesome, Rhodium! Those references give me a royal hard on but I wonder where I could find some actual copies of the writtings themselves...hmmm maybe local university library?
