Oxalic acid Seventy Isopropanol Solvent
OASIS
So this is another extraction path that likely will work for dmt as well. This has been tested only on mescaline so far.
NOT intended to be the first option with cielo or kash being much better but I will work on this much more since accessibility and smell of the solvent is MUCH better. The Oxalic acid is fairly dangerous and requires some care when handling but since it can be neutralized or destroyed then replaced with a better salt works for me so far.
Items needed:
Glassware to hold the materials
Calcium hydroxide... sodium carbonate or even sodium hydroxide but calcium hydroxide is best due to lower solubility in water.
Oxalic acid works with mescaline from backsalting other acids MAY be possible but needs testing. (Benzoic acid in 70% isopropanol seems saturated at 100mg DMT benzoate in 1-1.5mL 70%)
The issue with most salts is the high solublility in water when salted.
70% ISO small amounts is all that is needed since alkaloids are HIGHLY soluble in the solvent
MOST accessible solvent after water. 40% Ethanol MAY be possible but I worked on the backsalted properties so needs testing
A heat source without open flame to reduce the solvent faster rate than natural evaporation
This technique far surpasses my BASI extraction using 99% isopropanol but only issue is oxalates not being the safest for consumption
So first off you want free the amine by adding calcium hydroxide I added 1/10th the weight
I would like to test next is water saturated Ca2OH so minimal calcium contamination while freeing the amine
Next you add the 70% iso... you mix now so there is great penetration and highly soluble in iso Only enough to cover no need for excess You can likely just pass the same alcohol a few times thru the material using an herbal percolator setup
1h should be more than enough to pull all the alkaloids more testing needed.
Now filter/decant the isopropanol solution
Add enough oxalic acid to make the ph acidic VERY LITTLE is needed since oxalic acid is quite powerful
The first precipitates that form are calcium oxalate and a few others most likely near zero mescaline oxalate (I had a small amount but I didn't remove all the iso so that is likely the source)
Filter off and keep the solvent
(This may be a good point to add a small amount of activated charcoal to remove color impurities and chlorophyll)
Now reduce the alcohol until atleast 1/3 original volume. (the more the better so the solution is more saturated)
Allow it too cool and rest overnight and crystals should form
decant and save the crystals these are your mescaline oxalate
Leave the alcohol and collect any other precipitates that form (I am still evaporating the original alcohol and noticed a few more crystals)
MAYBE you can reduce less and freeze precipitate but needs testing. 70% iso is cheap enough that no need to save but you can distill it off rather than evaporating if you wanted to reuse
The oxalate crystals that form can be washed with MINIMAL water or minimal 70% iso even 99% iso.
You can store it as the oxalate or convert to your choice of salt
First test of purity (Based on rough calculations)
So in theory the purity of the oxalate formed is 65% having yielded 200+ mg of my cleanest mescaline hcl salt out of a theoretical 315mg with a perfect conversion from 400mg oxalate crystal
75% purity if the oxalate is trihydrate form.
After having converted and salted I had an orange goo/oil with the crystals and after washing with 99% iso I ended up 200mg. There are likely other alkaloids pulled due to the original extremely low ph of the OA
Remember that oxalate are not the safest to ingest. We eat oxalates with every plant we eat but in very low quantities... there are some that have sensitives and re frame from eating certain plants that are higher in OA.
For freebase you can either use 30% h2o2 to destroy the oxalates over a week OR use minimal ca2oh saturated water to freebase the amine will float or sink
you can also freebase then salt and have minimal contamination with calcium (salt)
you can also add hcl directly but need to add 99% iso to remove the oxalic acid which is displaced
FUTURE TESTING NEEDED FOR
Possible options for safe salts after freebase with calcium hydroxide water (calcium hydroxide 70% alcohol)
TESTED MYSELF
about 100mg DMT benzoate insoluble in 1-1.5ml of 70% at 2-3ml it will all be soluble. Works well
Need to test solublitly of
calcium benzoate
cactus salts benzoate
other acids
Photos are first the crystal oxalates that formed
second is dmt benzoate starting to crash at 1.5ml range
third is the hcl water evaporating from 400mg oxalate crystal orange impurites and goo removed after 99% iso wash
Last photo is 200mg very clean hcl crystals from the 400mg oxalate.
