Hello I was just wondering if anyone had any experiences with LSH I cant seem to find much on it any input would be appreciated.

Don't the rules of chemistry change when amateurs have a go?!benzyme said:a tetraethylamine definitely doesn't exist (Nitrogen doesn't have 5 valence electrons),
and there's no evidence to suggest other adducts form with the addition of various essential
oils given the typical reaction conditions posted.

You couldn't be more wrong!
After experimenting with aldehydes, I have determined that aldehydes are able to bind to nitrogen atoms with only a single bond available. This means that LSH does not form from the reaction of LSA and acetaldehyde. A molecule much closer to LSD is formed.
We thought LSC looked something like this:
In reality what will form is something like this:
Therefore, the reaction between LSA and acetaldehyde would not produce LSH:
It would produce LST [Lysergic Acid Tetraethylamide]:
Which has just three more carbon atoms than LSD:
The nitrogen with the single methyl group can be replaced by aldehydes. Mesembrine, mitragynine, and rhynchophylline have only single bonds available for their nitrogens, and mesembrine has a methyl group covering up its only nitrogen. All three of those molecules can be reacted with aldehydes to produce molecules with modified pharacokinetics. Therefore LST would result from the reaction of acetaldehyde and LSA; not LSH.
im sorry but your'e wrong :thumb_up:
