The “monoethyl” in LAE-32
LAE-32 is lysergic acid monoethylamide. Its amide nitrogen carries one ethyl group and one hydrogen. LSD carries two ethyl groups at that position, while lysergic acid amide, LSA, carries neither.
These names describe three distinct molecules sharing a larger ring framework. LAE-32 is therefore not simply another abbreviation for LSA or LSD. On a blotter label, the difference may occupy only a few characters; chemically, it changes the amide group that projects from the ring system and participates in molecular interactions.
