DMT smell is lost after sodium carbonate wash?

[Ram Dazz]

Gentlemen,

I did a sodium carbonate wash with
* 50 ml Naphta
* 50 ml H20 and a pinch of sodium carbonate

After 5 minutes I decant the liquid.

The result at the end is:
* Lesser DMT crystal than before
* Crystal are looking like powder and more important they lost there typical smell.

Question:
* Is it normal that the DMT smell is lost after sodium carbonate wash?

Thx

Thanks SachiTheSearcher for the link, it is a good source of information.

BTW, the DMT smell that I mentioned is not unpleasant ...more like a cheap perfume.

Time will tell. I will post my scientific research results!

You do know a load of your DMT has dissolved in that naphtha, right? Unless it was properly freezing cold?


Are you perchance conflating a sodium carbonate wash and a naphtha recrystallisation?

I hope you haven't thrown that naphtha away! Stick it in the freezer and you might just get something back.

No I didn't throw it away.


I followed that information here and vovin teks

Till now I thought that DMT always smells like a cheap perfume...

My fear is I used too much sodium carbonate.

Too much sodium carbonate would not make you lose DMT in any way.

How much less DMT did you get after the wash?

 

[arcologist]

It's common for me to only get 80-90% of the input to a naphtha freeze precipitation with pure starting material (DMT fumarate). There always will be some DMT left in the naphtha, you could try evaporating or adding fumaric-acid saturated acetone to recover everything.

 

[Ram Dazz]

The loss of DMT is not the problem for me, I would say it is 40%.

DMT Aroma:
The disappearing of DMT smell/aroma is irritating for me, this was the focus of my question.
Is it the same for you?
DMT without smell is possible?

Thx

I already answered in the other thread that was linked earlier.

TLDR: Is normal.
