?
I don't like the 10% yeilds shulgin got with bicarbonate.
I may just make some methylamine and react it with IPBr and distill of the Diisopropylmethyl amine, lots a work but it will be fun. Hopefully Mr Steric Hinderance will work to my advantage here.
Are the huge excesses of reagents Shulgin uses necessary?? He must have an almost ten fold molar excess!!!
"A solution of 1.6 g tryptamine base in 10 mL isopropanol was treated with 5.1 g propyl iodide and 5.2 g diisopropylethyl amine"
"trip not equal to tryptamine, tryptamine equals trip"
