Coupling reagents / Casey
I have been lookin for documentation in regards to Casey and his proposed synth provided a few years back. I dont see many people talking about it,
manily from doing web searches.
If you can perform column chromo, and can work with cultures, wouldnt this present a challenge that many would take on???
I would just like to read more discussion on what people with degree's or die-hard hacks, would have to say in regards to Hardisons proposed synth.
tnx.

Maybe because lysergic acids does not grow on trees? Well, it almost does, but anyway, those who have access to it don't need to discuss matters as
nowadays practically standard (bio)chemical methods like coupling acids with amines aided by coupling agents.

Not really, given that LSD is illegal all over this seek planet. However, it might be a challenge coupling lysergic acid with certain amines other
than diethylamine.
…there is a human touch of the cultist “believer” in every theorist that he must struggle against as being
unworthy of the scientist. Some of the greatest men of science have publicly repudiated a theory which earlier they hotly defended. In this lies their
scientific temper, not in the scientific defense of the theory. - Weston La Barre (Ghost Dance, 1972)
