t-Amine oxide rearrangements. N, N-Dimethyltryptamine oxide

Abstract

It has been found that N, N-dimethyltryptamine oxide, a naturally occurringindole base from seeds of Piptadenia macro-carpa Benth., will undergo a ferric ion induced rearrangement in aqueous solution to give N-methyltryptamine and formal-dehyde or formic acid. The …
