✦ Synopsis
In our studies of ergot alkaloid biosynthesis we have attempted to inhibit reactions within the biosynthetic pathway which we hoped would result in the accumulation of heretofore undetected biosynthetic intermediates.
One of the reactions which seemed appropriate for this kind of experimentation was the N-methylation of the nitrogen atom derived from the 4 -amino group of tryptophan.
