Hi nexians!
recently, I finished my first extraction from peganum harmala seeds (100 gr. seeds gave me almost 3 gr. of quite pure alkaloids).
Now, I want to convert part of those freebases into fumarates, to use them in pharmahuasca. I have successfully done this process previously with DMT. I made the calculations taking into acount that fumaric acid is a diprotic acid (2 mol dmt combine with 1 mol fumaric) and then using the molar masses to calculate the final proportions.
My question is: can I use the same logic to calculate the proportions with harmalas? Specifically, I am not sure if I can assume that fumaric acid behaves as diprotic also with harmalas.
If this is so, these are the calculations I will do:
Harmine molar mass: 212.25
Harmaline molar mass: 214.263
Fumaric acid molar mass: 116.07
Since I don't know what the actual ratio of harmine/armaline is in my freebases, I will use the average molar mass of both (fortunately their values are very close): 213.16
Then, if I want to convert 1 gr. of freebases to fumarates, I calculate how much fumaric acid I need:
116.07 / (213.16 * 2) = 0.272 gr = 272 mg. of fumaric acid
Are these calculations correct?
Thanks in advance!
