I hear it is possible to "hydrolyze" 4-aco-dmt fumarate into 4-ho-dmt using either a base or an acid.....I hear of it being done with lye, but I hear 4-ho-dmt is somewhat unstable in a basic environment, so it is supposedly better to use an acid....someone I heard of used muriatic acid for this.....could acetic acid work?
Well firstly find someone more sure of himself than I am! Let’s just wait for someone more knowledgeable to chime in and we can discuss it further. I got an idea how you could do it but I'm not going to give any suggestions as it would be tantamount to giving unqualified medical advice! This is the first time I've even set eyes on this molecule!
I’ve been studying O-chem for a while but apart from DMT and mescaline extractions have no lab experience whatsoever! I’m not even sure if my proposed mechanism is correct, and was actually hoping for some disscussion and feedback!
This particular reaction I doubt very much would be all that dangerous but with chemistry you have to make damned sure that you know what you are doing as well all the side products that you might end up making or you could end up poisoning yourself!
And no you can’t just protonate it with acetic acid there would be no leaving gorup.
Maybe you can explain or provide a link as to what those who suggested this proposed as a mechanism. First time I've heard of it so I havent given it much thought.
Isnt the theroy behind the so called 'lemmon tek' supposed to say that it converts psilocybin into psilocin before ingestion?
Makes sense if you look at the two molecules and imagine what would happen if psilocybin was to undergo protonation.
