Quiet brilliant work guys. I personally haven't worked with bufotenine before but my recent experiments trying to crystallise phalaris aquatica freebase oil lead me here.

I was actually able to get decently clean crystals from fresh leaves using a standard a/b extraction with no defatting step and salting with oxalic acid. It's unbelievable how easy and rapidly the oxalate salt form crashes out as crystals. No evaporation is even required. No heat or cooling.. the crystals crashes even while separating the salted aqueous layer. Some crystals also crushed inside the non polar solvent.

I tried to redissolve the tryptamines oxalate crystals in water but it was poorly soluble. It took considerable amount of water to only dissolve half of it..so I gave up trying to dissolve it completely and added base and pulled again to end up with clear light yellow oil again. However the bioassay proved the extract was so much cleaner in quality.

I wonder if the success using oxalic acid on phalaris extract could be transferred to crystallise bufotenine.. having low solibility with high tendency to form crystals plus being non hygroscopic. It seems to be like oxalic acid is a great candidate..

I also thought about drying the O.A and sublimate it to obtain it in gaseous form which I can bubble into a non polar solvent saturated with the desired Tryptamine or better yet dissolved the dried O.A in dry solvent of choice and add it to your solvated tryptamine like you would do using fumaric acid in acetone.

I don't know why the GIFs does not play unless I tap to save them on my phone so you might have to tap to save if you run through the same issue.

Second GIF is trying to dissolve the tryptamines (haven't analysed the extract yet) oxalate salt in water. While it didn't all dissolve the left crystals got even cleaner.

Third GIF is the basing step of the partially dissolved crystals. It clouded exactly like the GIFs I saw above on this thread. Upon addition of chloroform to the based solution the cloudiness decreased substantially but not completely.
