Oh shute, one morning i woke up to a small catastrophy, feeling active i had done some work late at night after a bottle o wine
(won't do that again for sure, so please dont feel the need to point that out, work is done sober) and must have accidently combined a concentrated dmt holding ~10% aceitic acid flask with one from my Rue Extraction from the day before. I was shocked. Now i'm wondering what would be the best way to seperate the alkaloids...
Either via pKa or via Manske, or via NP Solvent i figured, so a lot of questions arose:
If Harmaloids precipitate earlier than dmt, one could try to hit the point in between while basifying, filter the crystals for a raw seperation like in the rue teks. But the pKa numbers are 7.7 (Harmine) - 8.8 (DMT) - 9.8 (Haraline) so dmt is in the middle of an allready thin line (assuming one has no digital pH Meter, only strips) to realize and a lot of work.
If I understand the teks right, haramaloids precipitate in cold NaCl-saturatet acidic-aquaeous-solution, so one could try to then decant the acidic water with the dmt BUT i fear that the dmt will somehow stick to the Harmaloid Alks or solidify itself.
Last but not least, i found myself hoping that maybe, just maybe, no rue-inhabiting substance would migrate into the naphtha. In that case i would base to pH 14 and do normal pulls.
Thanks for your help
