virola extraction..

Migrated topic.

A/B extraction. Isn't Virola mainly 5-meo-dmt? A standard A/B with Naphtha or Heptane as the NP solvent should work just fine.
would the end result be 5 meo dmt because this is something that sounds interesting It seems virola is inexpensive
 
for sure...right now swim is trying 500mg in 10ml distilled water, 5ml of 99% isopropyl (pH ~2). its sitting in a bath of hot water. in a few hours swim'll decant and add some naphtha (not sure how much)... hows this sound to you guys?
 
Sounds good. With this sort of extraction, you're kind of flying by the seat of your pants, since it's hard to know how much alkaloid is in the resin to begin with. I'd be very interested if this yields some decent 5-MeO.

Fortunately it should be a pretty forgiving process.
 
soo something odd is happening here. in the larger extraction (8.6 grams of virola resin; sap more or less) swim decided to use only isopropyl slightly acidified here. he let that to extract in a small crock pot for a couple hours. the liquid turned maroon and the resin (which was maroon) turned yellow. swim added 8 grams of lye, let it sit and then added some naptha. it didn't seperate and swim has read that adding more lye and a warm bath can fix this... it eventually became more seperated but the naptha has turned maroon as well.. do swiy suppose swim successfully extracted the color and not actually the alkaloid? maybe the alkaloid as well.. swim is only spectulating but do swiy suppose that the isopropyl (being more solute) took the color as well? confusing...
 
I have heard before that DMT (and I suspect 5-meo-dmt as well) is not very soluable in IPA (ethyl yes, IPA no). It forms a colloidal (which I have observed when making enhanced leaf). Why did you pick IPA as opposed to just acidified water? You will probably end up with A LOT of fats in your final product. Alcohol seems to pull fats pretty well vs water, which doesn't.

Did SWIY remove the resin pie at the bottom before adding lye?

If I may make a suggestion...use warm acidified water (pH <3.5), strain off the goop, defat using naphtha, then add lye and pull the alkaloids using naphtha/heptane. Same deal as an A/B DMT extraction with a manitory defat.
