A very general extraction/purification question | Bookmark | ||||||
Now I have seen how effective the acetone wash is for obtaining psilocybin crystals I wonder if a similar thing would be usable for other alkaloids. Am I right in that the HCl salts of dmt, psilocybin and mescaline are all near to insoluble in acetone? And am I also right in that acetone dissolves fats, resins, water and a buch of other unwanted compounds from an extract? If yes, then a simple 140 proof ethanol extraction, followed by acidification of the extract by adding HCl, evaporating down, defatting with pet ether AND an additional cleaning up with acetone would result in a much cleaner alkaloid*Hcl residue for further purification compared to the normal approach without acetone. Any comments? bibliopharmacophile |

albert hoffmann's extraction of pscilocybin I think it is on Rhodium's page. Involving methanol acetone and chloroform. |
