The structure of Psilocybin, the active principle of Psilocybe mexicana Heim, has been elucidated. Psilocybin is the phosphoric acid ester of 4-hydroxy-dimethyltryptamin. This structure was confirmed by total synthesis.Psilocybin is the first natural indole derivative found to contain phosphorus. It is also the first natural tryptamine derivative substituted in position 4.
