title: Synthesis of N-nicotinoyl-tryptamine (tryptamide).
abstract: N-Nicotinoyl-tryptamine was synthetized by acylation of tryptamine with mixed nicotinic anhydride. The synthesis of tryptamine via DL-tryptophan decarboxylation in cyclohexanol, in the presence of tetraline oxidation products as the catalyst, was described as well.
