TLDR
In this paper, Lysergic acid was synthesized from 4-hydroxymethyl-1-tosylindole by a sequence of 9 steps and the crucial thermolysis involved the in situ generation of the transient diene III which undergoes an intramolecular cycloaddition to a C, N-double bond at 200° and at low stationary concentration of III.
Abstract
(±)-Lysergic acid (1) has been synthesized from 4-hydroxymethyl-1-tosylindole (2) by a sequence of 9 steps. The crucial thermolysis 9 10 involves the in situ-generation of the transient diene III which undergoes an intramolecular cycloaddition to a C, N-double bond at 200° and at low stationary concentration of III.

The Diels--Alder reaction in total synthesis.

TL;DR: The Diels-Alder reaction has both enabled and shaped the art and science of total synthesis over the last few decades to an extent which has yet to be eclipsed by any other transformation in the current synthetic repertoire as mentioned in this paper.

Die Diels‐Alder‐Reaktion in der Totalsynthese

TL;DR: In den letzten Jahrzehnten hat wohl keine andere Reaktion das Forschungsgebiet der Totalsynthese mehr gepragt als die Diels-Alder-Reaktion, oftmals als entscheidendes Element einer eleganten Kaskadenreaktion zur Herstellung komplexer Molekulstrukturen.

Der Stand der Totalsynthese zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts

TL;DR: In this article, the authors stellten die Frage, welchen Stand die Totalsynthese von Naturstoffen erreicht hat, und geschildert, wie viel wir in der Wissenschaft der Totalsynthesis schon erreich haben, aber also, dass dieses Forschungsgebiet den Kinderschuhen gerade erst entschlupft.

The Total Synthesis of Lysergic Acid

TL;DR: Work on the inhibition by oligosaccharides of the precipitation of blood group substances with specific antibody suggests that the carbohydrate presents binding sites for the immunological reaction.
