hi.. I was wondering what methods of DPT and DiPT synth were open to OTC chemist. Have searched the hive but couln't find much.. most seemed to be of tihkal nature:
DPT: tryptamine in isopropanol + propyl iodide + diisopropylethyl amine (and further purification with acetic anhydride, ammonium hydroxide, sulphuric acid, dcm and sodium hydroxide)
DiPT: tryptamine in sulfolane + isopropyl iodide + diisopropylethyl amine (then straight to the kugelrohr)
...
I don't understand heaps of synth stuff but have done AB extractions and it seems that after the first step in these synths that it is just purification by distillation, xtallisation and AB extractions (but please correct me if i'm wrong)...
I am wondering if these compounds could be made in crude form and purified in another (simpler) way (than distillation) and what impurities would arise..
Also, could any of the compounds be substituted, like sulfolane etc.. bees also talk of using different catalysts such as ethanolamine etc.
...
In '98 drone 342 posted DMT synth (N-alkylation):
Dissolve PTC (benzyltriethylammonium chloride) in dcm, add NaOH and stir for 30 mins, then add amine (tryptamine). After 30 mins, add alkyl halide and stir overnight. Filter wash and dry...
Is this the process (N-alkylation) used to do D(i)PT? Therefore one could use the (iso)propyl iodide as the alkyl halide and expect good stuff..?
...
So yeah, if anyone could post their dreams of OTCD(i)PTSynthesis that would be cool...
