Also, what are the other peaks there? 'twas from a synth. The other peaks may be adducts, from residual dcm. Recrystallized product from my initial run gave only a single large peak around 189 m/z, m.p. 66-68 C, with a fragment around 144. <- that was from fluffy, off-white dmt free base crystals. regardless of the method, the polymerization somehow occurs in the solvent itself...a supersaturated solution. I've never seen an extraction that didn't have goo in it. benzyme, how exactly did you re-X? In particular what solvent did you use? How long did you boil? Thanks. PS: I think polymerization can occur in other places also (plant itself and basing step). Also, de-polymerization can happen not only during re-x, but also during acid treatment - particularly with vitamin C.

And yes, acidification does cleave them into monomeric salt complexes. I'm using sigma pet ether to re-x. "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah
