Mescaline solubility and other propertiesVersion 1.2
Note: when talking about IPA (isopropyl alcohol), a purity of 99% IPA is assumed. 91% IPA or less cannot substitute for 99% IPA.
Freebase mescalineComposition: C11H17NO3
Melting point: 35-36°C (Kindler and Peschke, 103)
Boiling point: 180°C (12 mmHg)
XLogP: 0.6 (PubChem)
XLogP3: 0.7 (PubChem)
pKa: 9.56
Appearance: long needle shaped white crystals
Molecular weight: 211.26
Notes: forms mescaline carbonate on prolonged exposure to air
Average dose: 300 to 600 milligrams with a duration of 5 to 12 hours.
Soluble in: alcohol, chloroform, benzene, xylene, toluene, acetone, dichloromethane, highly soluble in isopropyl alcohol, soluble in d-limonene ***
Moderately soluble in: water
Insoluble in: practically insoluble in ether or petroleum ether
LD50: i.p. rats 370 mg/kg
*** SWIM's test's found that freebase mescaline is quite soluble in d-limonene and that mescaline hydrochloride is insoluble in d-limonene. He developed a tech that uses it and got fantastic yields.
Mescaline citrateSoluble in: water
Insoluble in: xylene, acetone *

Mescaline hydrochlorideMolecular weight: 247.72 (Sigma Aldrich)
Empirical Formula (Hill Notation): C11H17NO3 • HCl (Sigma Aldrich)
CAS Number: 832-92-8
Appearance: colorless crystals, needles
Melting point: 184°C
Moderately soluble in: water, alcohol (Merck Index), methanol (at least 1.0 mg/ml, source Sigma Aldrich solution)
Insoluble in: practically insoluble in toluene and acetone, insoluble in isopropyl alcohol, diethyl ether, and d-limonene***
LD50: i.p. rats 132 mg/kg
Storage temperature: 2-8°C (Sigma Aldrich)
Isolation: when mescaline hydrochloride is extracted from San Pedro, Achuma, or Peruvian torch, it can be isolated from the other alkaloids by washing it in IPA or acetone (use 10 ml per gram of alkaloids, and wash 2-3 times). The non-mescaline alkaloids dissolve in the IPA or acetate, while the mescaline hydrochloride does not. Note that for the cleanest results use about 2 washes of acetone, and then 2 washes with IPA.

Mescaline fumarateComposition: unknown (it may be a one to one salt or may not be)
Appearance: unknown
Melting point: unknown
Soluble in: water**, acetone**
Insoluble in: unknown
** This information is from various SWIMs on this forum.
Mescaline acetateComposition: unknown
Appearance: white free flowing powder with a slight waxy texture ***
Melting point: unknown
Soluble in: water***, isopropyl alcohol***, acetone***, DMSO*** (more than 5 grams/100 ml), boiling MEK***
Insoluble in: xylene, d-limonene, cold MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) ***
*** This information was validated by SWIM and is reliable.
Isolation: when mescaline acetate is extracted from San Pedro, Achuma, or Peruvian torch, it can be isolated from the other alkaloids by washing it in cold MEK (use 10 ml per gram of alkaloids, and wash 2-3 times). The non-mescaline alkaloids dissolve in the MEK, while the mescaline acetate does not. Mescaline acetate can be recrystallized in MEK by boiling the MEK and then freezing it overnight.
