An imprinted electrochemical sensor based on polypyrrole-sulfonated graphene (PPy-SG)/hyaluronic acid-multiwalled carbon nanotubes (HA-MWCNTs) for sensitive detection of tryptamine was presented. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were synthesized by electropolymerization using tryptamine as the template, and para-aminobenzoic acid (pABA) as the monomer.

We report the first total synthesis of (±)-trigonoliimine C, a member of a family of structurally complex alkaloids, in 10 steps from tryptamine and 6-methoxytryptamine. Our convergent synthetic strategy relies on a selective oxidative rearrangement of an unsymmetrical 2,2'-bis-tryptamine.
