SWIM would post this in the relevant thread, but does not have privileges yet.

SWIM followed thick-light's tek exactly as posted here:

with a couple exceptions:

500ml naptha used for pull.
evap process is described below. initial evap wasn't working, so a freeze evap, then re-x, using evap precip was performed.

SWIM used 500g Hawaiian ACRB Removed
As of yet has only done ONE PULL.
This pull was re-x'd.
After re-x, weight of spice is over 10.5g!! That's 2%+ yield, from one pull.
Fluffy white crystals formed atop a more yellowish plaque, probably containing plant oils, NMT, etc. Second evap came out more yellow than first freeze evap. After initial extraction, nothing fell out of solution for 4+ hours of room temp evap precip, so SWIM placed vessel covered in freezer. A 1/4 inch wall immediately crystallized. After 24 hours, this vessel was drained and dried. Crystals remained soggy with solution, so a re-x was performed without any added naptha. Vessel was lightly heated in hot water bath to re-liquify. This was room temp evapped for a couple days, resulting in the 10.5g.

Freeze evap results:

liquify in heat bath, then evap precip results:

Thoughts?
 
Hey Arcologist:

Using Xylene is interesting: It pulls hard and fast. After three pulls on 500g ACRB, there was nothing left!

And the amount of NMT that was extracted was impressive, certainly more than 50% of total alkaloids.

Next time around, I'm going to save all the NMT and pull it out of it carbamatic prison, and perhaps make up a 'naturalized' blend as per the tree's original ratio (55/45? NMT/DMT)?

The only drawbacks with using xylene as the NP solvent are: smell, increased flammability, and
DMT yield in fumarate.

Of course one could do a couple naphtha pulls first, then a couple xylene pulls, and you would have the best of both- DMT freebase and DMT fumarate...

As usual, dry ice treatment prior to freeze precipitate or FASA!

NMT N-oxide doesn´t exist.

Whoa whoa what? Is there a more in depth post about this here somewhere I can read up on ?
..mentioned briefly a couple of times in etheogenic effects of nmt
There is no NMT-N-oxide. N-Oxides can only be formed from tertiary amines, and NMT is a secondary amine. There may be N-hydroxy-N-methyltryptamine, but I have no information regarding it's formation. I have been told: "In the case of NMT, oxidation and cyclization would give 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline."
(neither of these two products is known from A.confusa)
