I am rolling out a new series in which various neuropharmaceuticals are discussed from an organic and biochemistry perspective. These are not "how to" videos but rather an academic examination of these compounds. Their chemistry, the synthetic routes by which they are produced in nature, industry, and the laboratory, and their applications in medicine will be discussed.

In this first video of the series we take a look at the chemistry of tryptamine and the N-mono and N,N-disubstituted tryptamines. In the next video we will discuss the more exotic substituted tryptamines, lysergic acid and its amides, and we will conclude the discussion on tryptamine chemistry with ibogaine.
