Hey all. Long time lurker.
A friend recently performed an extraction on ACRB. In the interest of full disclosure, the process went like this...
200 g ACRB was suspended in 1,120 mL 0.55% HC2H3O2, brought to a gentle reflux with stirring, and held for 2 H. After cooling, the mixture was basified to pH 14 with 240 g 50% NaOH (m/m), stirred for 3 H, extracted with 4 x 200 mL xylene, the extracts pooled, washed with 2 x 100 mL H2O, 1 x brine, dried over Na2SO4, and the solvent removed under vacuum. The residual yellow amorphous mass left behind was dissolved in anhydrous acetone and with stirring treated with a saturated solution of fumaric acid in anhydrous acetone until reaching a permanent turbidity. After settling for 3 H, the mother liquor was decanted from the insolubles, the solids washed with 3 x 100 mL warm anhydrous acetone, and dried by air to give 4.971 g of a fine bright white powder with a sweet scent.
The substance's physical properties are kind of neat. Doesn't seem to have ANY hygroscopic nature to it. Dissolves cleanly in H2O to give a perfectly clear solution indistinguishable from distilled water.
Obviously, the high yield is attributable to having a combination of DMT and NMT famaric acid salts. Does anybody know if "jungle spice" fumarates may also be adding to the yield? Or is that only a thing with MHRB? If one was too much of a pansy to deal with the unpleasant effects of vaporization on their already damaged lungs and wanted to I.V. the substance, would they double the dosage to account for essentially inactive material (NMT)? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
