Talk:Tryptamine

message: Hi. What was wrong with the old images? The new ones look okay although for my liking the roman letters are too big. The old images were done with PPCHTeX, which is easily edited and will hopefully soon be incorporated directly into mediawiki much like LaTeX math equations. With your images it is difficult if not impossible for anyone to nicely edit the structure if needs be, and an arbitrary-resolution printable version (as on the cards for all wiki extensions, which ppchtex and XyMTeX will hopefully become) is unavailable.

thread_title: Structure

message: I was wondering if you were going to add L-tryptophan (the amino acid) which contains a carboxcylic acid (cooh) on the alpha carbon. rmosler 10:58, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not a chemist so I couldn't say for sure, but it seems that amino acids aren't considered to be amines in general, so tryptophan wouldn't be considered a tryptamine ... could be wrong though. --Russell E 11:05, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Addition

message: The table of natural T's was getting a bit ungainly so I'm thinking to move it to Table of naturally occurring tryptamines and leave only the best-known ones in the table here.--Eloil 20:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tables 

message: I was just wondering why it would be 2-Aminoethyl instead of 1-Aminoethyl. From my understanding, the 2 being referred to would be in the same place as the α is in the tryptamine picture. -- Guitarmankev1(TALK) 01:59, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  It is correct, it is a 2-aminoethyl connected with its 1-position (implicit) to the indole-3 position. Cacycle 02:31, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

message: A named reaction links here...Abramovitch-Shapiro tryptamine synthesis.  The named reaction should be described separately or be merged with this document.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.131.34.24 (talk) 21:43, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reaction link 

message: The table lists tryptamines as "synthetic" as opposed to "natural", in the sense of "naturally occurring". This is a very common error. The correct opposite to "natural" in this sense is "artificial". "Synthetic" means that it was synthetically made, i.e. synthesized in a lab. You can have synthetically made natural and artificial substances, i.e. if you synthesize a naturally occuring chemical in the lab, than it is both "synthetic" and "natural" in the sense of "occurring in nature".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.83.97.111 (talk) 17:27, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

message: There was an error in the reaction scheme.  It was discussed in Journal of Chemical Education .  The scheme was corrected by Mandlerm on 29 September 2016. --Taweetham (talk) 02:31, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
