The treatment of methyl lysergate with mercuric acetate in methanol yields, instead of the expected 10 - methoxy - 6 - methyl - ergoline - 8 β - carboxylic acid methyl ester ( 2), 10 - methoxy - 8,9 - didehydro - 6 - methyl - ergoline - 8 - carboxylic acid methyl ester ( 3), whose structure is demonstrated.
