* Interconversion: It has been claimed that DMT N-Oxide can be reconverted back to [[DMT]] by redissolving in dilute acetic acid solution, adding excess zinc dust, mixing for a couple of hours, filtering to remove zinc, adding base and pulling with organic solvent as in a normal extraction.  [[DMT]] can be oxidized by using hydrogen peroxide ([https://www.dmt-nexus.me/forum/resource.ashx?a=7966 Fish et al 1955])

Hexane/Naphtha/Pet ether are commonly used to crystallize it (Ott 1993, Espamer et al 1967, Morimoto & Matsumoto 1966, etc) , so it is probably moderately soluble in these solvents.

'''1:3 Ethyl Acetate:Naphtha (C6-C7)'''
 +
 +
Boiling = 7,6 g/l = 760 mg in 100 ml
 +
 +
20 °C = 3,6 g/1 l = 360 mg in 100 ml
 +
 +
- 20 °C = 3,5 g/1 l = 350 mg in 100 ml
 +
 +
Selectively dissolves Bufotenine only, not the more polar Alkaloids. Defat first with Naphtha.
 +
 +
 +
'''Ethyl Acetate'''
 +
 +
Boiling = 280 g/1 l = 28 g in 100 ml
 +
 +
20 °C = 72 g/1 l = 7,2 g in 100 ml
 +
 +
- 20 °C = 50 g/1 l = 5 g in 100 ml
 +
 +
For recrystalization (optional, not recommended).
 +
Use only minimal amounts of solvent as you can see above! Placement in the freezer did not produce more crystals, just cloudings that cant be collected. Also crystals derived from re-x with Ethyl Acetate start turning grey and otherwise the material keeps its colour, therefore maybe not advised to do a re-x.
 +
 +
 +
'''boiling D-Limonene'''
 +
 +
Unconvenient, drops Bufotenine too fast to form crystals. Also high chance to damage Bufotenine at 175 °C.
 +
Same goes possibly for Xylene.

* Isolation: when mescaline hydrochloride is extracted from San Pedro, Achuma, or Peruvian torch, it can be isolated from the other alkaloids by washing it in IPA or acetone (use 10 ml per gram of alkaloids, and wash 2-3 times). The non-mescaline alkaloids dissolve in the IPA or acetate, while the mescaline hydrochloride does not. Note that for the cleanest results use about 2 washes of acetone, and then 2 washes with IPA.

First fumes from 100 °C +

Strong fumes from 160 °C +

  • XLogP: 2.0
  • XLogP3: 2.5 (PubChem)
  • pKa: 8.68 (Merck Index)
  • Colorimetric reagent results: Here
  • Stability/Degradation: Oxidation to DMT N-Oxide (yellow oil) in extended presence of oxygen (specialy in evaporation of dmt-containing solvents with heat and/or fan or generally in prolonged exposure to open air). N-oxide may be reverted back to the parent compound by reduction, as described in the N-Oxide to Freebase Wiki.
  • Solubility:

Very Soluble in Xylene, Toluene, Limonene, acetone, Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), methanol, ethanol, Dichloromethane (DCM), chloroform, ether, Butanone (also known as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)) and butanol.

Soluble in naphtha, hexane, heptane but almost insoluble in these solvents at freezing temperatures. Following daya from Source: Brennendes Wasser

  • Naphtha (80 °C, C6-C7, 60-80 °C) "infinite" (the DMT will melt and just create a homogeneous liquid-liquid solution. In the end it may even be a solution of Naphtha in DMT)
  • Naphtha (20 °C, C6-C7) 2,93 g in 100 ml
  • Naphtha in the freezer (-20 °C, C6-C7) 109 mg in 100 ml

  • Interconversion: It has been claimed that DMT N-Oxide can be reconverted back to DMT by redissolving in dilute acetic acid solution, adding excess zinc dust, mixing for a couple of hours, filtering to remove zinc, adding base and pulling with organic solvent as in a normal extraction. DMT can be oxidized by using hydrogen peroxide (Fish et al 1955)

  • Molecular Weight: 218.298 g/mol
  • Melting Point: 66-67°C, 67-68°C, 69-70°C (Trout's notes and TIHKAL)
  • Boiling Point4 : 208-210°C @ 4mm (Hoshino & Shimodaira 1936)

1:3 Ethyl Acetate:Naphtha (C6-C7)

Boiling = 7,6 g/l = 760 mg in 100 ml

20 °C = 3,6 g/1 l = 360 mg in 100 ml

- 20 °C = 3,5 g/1 l = 350 mg in 100 ml

Selectively dissolves Bufotenine only, not the more polar Alkaloids. Defat first with Naphtha.


Ethyl Acetate

Boiling = 280 g/1 l = 28 g in 100 ml

20 °C = 72 g/1 l = 7,2 g in 100 ml

- 20 °C = 50 g/1 l = 5 g in 100 ml

For recrystalization (optional, not recommended). Use only minimal amounts of solvent as you can see above! Placement in the freezer did not produce more crystals, just cloudings that cant be collected. Also crystals derived from re-x with Ethyl Acetate start turning grey and otherwise the material keeps its colour, therefore maybe not advised to do a re-x.


boiling D-Limonene

Unconvenient, drops Bufotenine too fast to form crystals. Also high chance to damage Bufotenine at 175 °C. Same goes possibly for Xylene.
