I am planning a extraction ala
https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/mescaline.extraction.html (https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/mescaline.extraction.html)
and I have a question. After basifying and extracting mescaline freebase w/ non-polar, is it possible to avoid adding dilute acid to the non-polar and instead just gassing with Cl
2 to salt the mescaline out of the n-p?
Dont add Cl2, that would be *DUMB*! You could add HCl though 8) .
Anyhow, i think that the mescaline is to impure to crystallize just like that. So i'd definately chose the route their using in that document!
My revised plan I guess is to add dilute sulfuric acid to the np/freebase and then recrystalize the mescaline sulfate with hot distilled water. My question now is what pH should I be aiming for in the aqueous layer?
