Boundary condition
In a recent test, it was found that Freebase DMT was extremely soluble in 90% ethanol.
400mg of DMT dissolved very easily in 1mL of alcohol. It was clear that half the amount would have done the job.
Dropwise addition of 20% aqueous ethanol at room temperature produced an initial clouding which rapidly cleared. Thus this cannot be used as a precipitation method for DMT freebase!
The 2mL of DMT solution in 55% ethanol was placed in a freezer at -18°C. After an adequate cooling time, the solution was observed to have separated into an upper clear layer and a lower orange-yellow layer.
That is where this experiment stands right now. It will be instructive to separate the two layers and observe what has partitioned between them.
Updates if and when further results are obtained.
