Thanks for this great share Mr benzyme

You're welcome.

For all practical purposes, one may get reasonably clean product by the procedure listed in section 2, to line 36. The chemical treatment involving silver chloride calls for hydrogen sulfide, which is immensely toxic and foul-smelling (at concentrations where others in the area can smell it, you'd already be dead). This is not advisable without a fume-hood and carbon trap.

Another thanks here! Hmm, that process looks and sounds awfully familiar. I seem to remember someone having a flask full of waxy crystals s/p rotovap using some of the procedures outlined in that paper

Interesting thanks benz!

What is the `halogen` they claim that elutes together with psilocin/cybin?

 

[benzyme]

this is an old-school invention, I'm assuming they're referring to the halocarbon used to extract, in this case, chloroform.

Nothing wrong with some good old Jenkem
