Is there a good method to convert the Harmine fraction of Rue Salts to Harmaline Wut?

-I think someone once claimed it could be done with acetic acid + alcohol .. DoS ?
Does anyone know ?

Had he more quickly realized just who they were,he would have shown them more respect.Had he tried harder to fathom their brilliant minds,he would have taken more of their teachings to heart.Had he more clearly understood the purpose of their being,
he would have more vigorously tried to assist them.They were truly honorable; he was sadly prejudiced.
They were exceedingly well informed; he was grossly ignorant.They were totally indefatigable; he so often, and so quickly,gave up. Still, for many years there was a strong inter-species alliance between the Eleven-Eleven of the Half-way Realm, their Seraphic Associates,and their flesh-and-blood friend, a common mortal. Much was accomplished, many profited, and, there’s only one regret...They could have achieved so much more...

Good quality Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) for an incredible price!

This might be of use : http://www.erowid.org/li...lkaloidconversions.shtml

"Converting Harmine to Harmaline

[Palladium or platinum catalyzed hydrogenation should work fine for this conversion but no presentation as such as been located in the literature. This reaction appears to occur spontaneously even in pure harmine; during storage.]"

Seems out of reach for home experimenters although i do not doubt there could be easier methods. I think here you are waiting for someone like Benzyme, Endless, Phlux or Infid to respond.

Also this looks interesting: http://prr.hec.gov.pk/Chapters/589-4.pdf

It mentions "oxidising" harmine to harmaline (hm, shouldnt it be a reduction?!) with various means such as nitric oxide, potassium permaganate, ammonium nitrate and chromic acid.
