BITLO, lol, i thought we were talking CITLO!
Yeah, this is an anomaly worth tracking.
Well, the C stands for Crystals (not citric), so mescalineH benzoate comes from a CITLO process in my mind. The benzoic acid did not precipitate
mescaline in EA, so the lazy xxtalization can only be done in Toluene as far as we know (prob xylene too, but who wants to use that super stinky solvent
![Grinning face with sweat :sweat_smile: 😅](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/nexus/unicode/64/1f605.png)
). Organic linear acids are not usually soluble in Toluene, so the lazyman xtalization combos are (excess acid powder straight into solvent):
CIELO: E - stands for Ethyl acetate. Good salting with citric, fumaric, malic. Tartaric eventually worked but took a very long time. Other organic acids may work too. Benzoic did not work.
CITLO: T - stands for Toluene. Good direct salting with excess Benzoic acid. Organic acids won't dissolve in Toluene, so a lazy xxtalization not expected to work (would need the more involved water HCl, FASI, etc).
Mindlusion reccomended a hot acetone wash for CITLO to make extra sure all the toluene is removed.
I wonder if Toluene pulls should work with the 69ron paste, so I'll give it a shot. Maybe not if it can't penetrate the aqueous paste as well as EA. Worth a try since it could be a good option for some to avoid the volumes and emulsions from a LLE, especially if they can't get their hands on the less stinky/tocix EA.
I wonder if those getting goo with CIELO tired CITLO what the result would be.
