When I tried the aspirin thing, I didn't use the appropriate amount of aspirin, and I didn't use the appropriate amount of alcohol. I used too much of each. Now that I have a little bit to work with, I'll try to reiterate the process using 1 gram of acacia alkaloids. I will use methanol, as it is the only dry alcohol I have right now, and try to minimize the amount involved.

DMT: 188.27 g/mol
NMT: 174.24 g/mol
Acetylsalicylic acid: 180.18 g/mol

If we assume 50:50 ratio of the alkaloids, we can average their molar mass.

181.26. So 1.0 g alkaloid mixture/181.26 then multiplied by the molar mass of aspirin (180.18 ).

0.994 g of aspirin. Then multiply by 1.2 for a 1.2x molar excess. 1.193!

So for one gram of acacia alkaloids, you want approximately 1.193g of acetylsalicylic acid, and barely any methanol or isopropanol. I will try it exactly like this and report here.
