By omitting the GAA, I have no way of controlling the PH.
That would set us back to the original article at DMT world that also produced quaternary salts. The [problem with these is that experimenting, even at nano scale, can be very expensive and time consuming.
What was the verdict on that DMT synth 1 to 4 that was posted by RDXHMX a while back. Were the crystals that he got DMT or not?
The Iodomethane route seems a lot smoother to perform and yeilds of 50% are acceptable. Any ideas Rhod (I need to either purchase NaCNBH3 or MeI) I only have 45g tryptophan to play with.
Thanks for the feedback Rhod, I can always count on you!!
