It's added what you wrote!
Also I wanted to make a new addition of totally over-roasting Spice with the UV-Light.
Daylight in summer made
11 % N-Oxide over 2 days, but obviously I have no idea about intensity, which would even vary a lot throughout the day.
A strong UV Lamp would anyways easily surpass that and I could use even higher-energy light. Daylight has at maximum (or minimum if you want) ~ 320 nm light, more gets absorbed throughout the atmosphere. That one is making you get sunburned. So I wanted to absolutely toast that DMT and see if everything gets converted to
N-Oxide or if there is a threshold and moreover if there is any other degradation happening, like radical-induced cleavage of that pyrrol ring maybe, analog to some biologic anti-oxidants
like Melatonin?
Now I placed some DMT for 1 h at 250 nm. Intensity I cannot measure for now, but it should be more than 1000 W / m². But actually not much happened?? Then I tried less energy, 1 h at 320 nm and then 1 h at 370 nm. Maybe the formation of
N-Oxide would only correspond to a lower energy level, but that is unlikely.
Some pictures are attached. Judged by eye that sun-oxidized looked
much worse Therefore I didnt even dare to go to NMR.
Maybe need to do it even longer, but that sounds weird ... might need to do some UV dose calculation to compare to an 'average summer day' in my country.
