Thanks, and sure!
I did three acid boils with a pH 2 citric acid solution, filtered, pooled the solutions, reduce to a workable amount and increase the pH to 13.5 with NaOH. Next I warmed the alkaline solution and pulled three times with n-Heptane, and freeze precipitated.
Further cleaning was done by scraping the crystals and doing a mini a/b, salting with HCl, storing the heptane (for later cleaning). I then freebased with a saturated CaCO3 solution, warmed the solution to about 33°C, and added a little amount of n-Pentane and shook vigorously.
Finally, I distilled the n-Pentane at 37°C, the liquid N,N-DMT freebase in my round flask was mixed with a little EtOH, and that's what I put on my watch glass and left to evaporate.
It was honestly quite fun and rewarding!
People aren't guilty how they are, but are eventually responsible.
