All is presumption and Ideas. Sorta... This is mostly extraction based and assumes that you've dreamed about this before. It's simple
only because it implies that you have glassware, good chemicals, experience, and a soxhlet for making hash oil. (Try that with the pet. ether and TFA ;-) )
Reagents needed:
All should be food grade or ACS.
37% HCl ACS
tartaric acid (brew store)
50% NaOH ACS
Dichloromethane ACS
Sodium Carbonate
Mimosa
For 2lbs of bark:
1) Add 25ml HCl to 1 gallon of water (measure HCl in water, not on it's own. Gassy...)
2) Add .5 - 1oz tartaric acid to water to a pH of 2-3
Note: Less HCl and some tartaric acid should keep the acidity right during subsequent boils. It may be a mistake.
3) Cover bark in the cocktail
4) Filter
For each liter of extract:
5) Warm the solution to 70 - 80C for 20-30 minutes (Salting)
5) Add sodium carbonate to adjust pH (May be unnecessary)
6) Reduce to 500ml
7) Split solution between two 1L beakers ( The volume requires two sets of pulls in the sep funnel)
Note: ooh hoo. No acid cook with bark in it. Mind you, this solution sat for a week. I believe it salt effectively in the boil.
Again! This time with 50ml HCl to 1gal of water and no tartaric acid and repeat. Make sure to keep the two beakers balanced. We want an even split. If my sep funnel was bigger things would be different in my life.
8) At the end of the day you want to beakers with 700ml of solution in each.
Phreebase:
1) Add sodium carbonate to mixture to adjust pH to 8-9 (NaOH will blow up with the potential amount of tartaric acid)
2) Thrown in the stuff, the DCM, and some NaOH
3) Do your job
At the end of the day? 8-10 grams of brown shit. Active. Very active. Purified we get:
~3 grams DMT and ~1.5 grams DMT N-Oxide ( Try this: Add a volume of pet. ether to the DCM solution and cook off the dcm. Yay! N-Oxide falls out!)
One the hydroxides are gone, I like to reduce it with zinc (I use rods, easier to remove than powder) and acetic acid. Add pet. ether and freebase and you get: <drumroll>
4.3g of more than optional reality.
I like to think about this method because it focuses on getting the shit out and then worrying purity until later. I got all that N-Oxide out by using DCM and then reducing it. This is a must for old bark.
