Science paper What Are The Harmalas (base) Very Soluble In?

Pure science papers to share and discuss.
Iirc and I can't find the paper right now but DCM was the highest solubility, most other compatible solvents had similar solubility ranges 1mg/ml-4mg/ml.

May i ask what is your goal and or purpose?

I tried to make a concentrated "hash" type thing out of Caapi vine powder and it's not strong enough. I know I could make a tea and precipitate, but I'm wondering about basifying with Sodium Carbonate, adding solvent, and letting the impurities settle. It might be easier.
What about Acetone?
 
Tea route would work but require filtering, you should check out the EA harmala approach tek and thread for some ideas, hot EA would work, acetone would likely work too. With EA you can precipitate harmala citrate can't recall the outcome with acetone.

FWIW, I finally tried to just basify and precipitate. It's an easy tek, but as so many have said the filtering is a royal pain. I have some shredded Caapi on the way to start over.

I am also using Acetone to try to clean up my result from the powdered Caapi. Dissolve in Acetone and precipitate that powdered plant material that contaminates everything. Thus saving an acidification step.
 
Yh filtering is in the traditional extraction teks, that is why I worked on EA approach to mitigate the messing filtering. It still requires filtering but it takes seconds with the EA. You can do the whole extraction in 2 hours and reuse the solvent for a second run if yield is not as high as you want.
 
Harmala citrate will precipitate from water solution directly. After a day I had the citrate precipitate... the 'negative' is it'll make the 'red harmine' which cannot be cleaned up and remains red.
 
I've only ever seen harmala citrate be soluble in water. But I cant comment on its exact solubility mg/ml.
It behaved similar to mansake. Need to be concentrated a bit and not dilute.
