Psychedelic Compounds Chemical and Physical Properties

DMT

N,N-Dimethyltryptamine

Freebase DMT

• Appearance: White/Transparent crystals or clear oil. Polymorphic (Gaujac et al 2013)
• CAS Registry Number: 61-50-7
• Composition: C12H16N2
• Molecular Weight: 188.26884 g/mol
• Melting point: 45-46 and 57-58°C , Polymorphic (Gaujac et al 2013)
• Boiling point: Source: Brennendes Wasser

First fumes from 100 °C +

Strong fumes from 160 °C +

No further vaporization from 190 °C

Estimated optimal temp for vaporization 175°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

Almost insoluble in water.

DMT N-Oxide

• Appearance: Basic oil (Weak base. Weaker than DMT, NMT or tryptamine.) Fish et al. 1956. Hygroscopic solid Banerjee & Ghosal 1969

Soluble in Xylene, Toluene, Limonene (?) Soluble in chloroform Bane1 and Ghosal 1969 Soluble in water. Fish et al. 1955 and Ghosal et al. 1970b and Banerjee & Ghosal 1969

Insoluble in petroleum (naphtha) but appreciably soluble in petroleum which contains fats. Ghosal & Banerjee 1969

• 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)

5-MeO-DMT Hydrochloride

• Melting Point: 145-146°C (TIHKAL)

Bufotenine

5-HO-DMT - 5-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-tryptamine

Freebase Bufotenine

• CAS Registry Number: 487-93-4
• Composition: C12H16N2O
• Molecular Weight: 204.268 g/mol
• Melting point:Source: Brennendes Wasser

108 °C

• Boiling point:Source: Brennendes Wasser

First fumes from 160 °C +

No further vaporization from 230 °C, leaving a black residue

Estimated optimal temp for vaporization 210°C

• XLogP: 1.6

• pKa: 9.67
• Colorimetric reagent results: Here
• Solubility:

Source: Brennendes Wasser

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.
