Psilocin to DMT by removal of 4-acetoxy?

[Thelostone]

Keep in mind I have almost no organic chemistry knowledge. I know this can't be done, I was merely curious as to why this wouldn't be possible. Technical explanation welcome.

 

[Parshvik Chintan]

there is no acetoxy in psilocin, you are thinking of psilacetin (although to be fair it is sometimes called O-Acetylpsilocin).

psilocin has a hydroxy chain.

i don't know if either if these can be converted to DMT, but if they can it would probably require a bit more than the average kitchen chemist has access to (though it is entirely possible i am wrong, i am not really chemistry-saavy).

Ya, I try to avoid all advanced organic chemistry... Too many variables, too many things that can go wrong, too much I don't know, too hard to get ahold of the chemicals that are needed.
