Title: help in dmt xtraction
Post by: supernate on April 30, 2003, 03:52:00 AM
ok, so ive extracted from a basic 38g MHRB sol'n to 1L dcm, and i left the dcm at like 30c for a day or two while i was out of town...  i hadnt quite cleaned the organic phase yet before i left it...  now i come back and the aqueous residue ontop has evaporated but the dcm hast really gone down much...
and the organic phase has gone all cloudy! what the fuck?
is that something that will come out in the NaHCO3 wash, or is it fucked? the dcm was a nice light yellow before, now its a cloudy-white. has the dmt thermally degraded? i expect that the thermal decomp. point is above the 40c BP of dcm, though is had been heated for a while... unfortunately i wont have a chance to fuck with it for a while now: what do you guys think?

Title: wash

i'd proceed with a wash,  should clear things up nicely.  even a couple would be better.  i'd reccomend using QT's extraction guide as a reference if you get confused.

good luck
