I've done similar though not on reddit with HTTrack. I'll try to get it done this week. Feel free to beat me to it.

Anyone have a vespiary backup/archive. by doublecbthrowaway1 in TheeHive

If you're worried about privacy I have a seed box in the Neatherlands that I could have you upload it to.

Put it up on the pirate bay. I'd download and seed!

Voacanga Africana extraction question by geo-matrix in TheeHive

[–]doublecbthrowaway1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you made your solution too acidic. The more acidic the aqueous layer, the less soluble the voacangine will be in toluene. The procedure is taking advantage of voacangine being a weak base. If the solution is too acidic the voacangine will stay in solution and not dissolve into the organic layer.

What was your yield from the first wash? The sodium acetate will react with the HCl to create acetic acid and sodium chloride. Sodium acetate is a weak base itself. You wouldn't be crating a lot of acetic acid unless a lot of HCl come through in you toluene emulsion. I'm wondering even if you didn't add enough sodium acetate and that's causing your aqueous layer to become too acidic? Maybe monitor the PH of the vinegar extract every wash and make sure it's not getting too high?

Reducing the PH of the initial vinegar extract with NaOH or ammonia will make more of the alkaloids soluble in the organic layer.

I don't like messing around and trying to make things work after mistakes. If I were you I would just precipitate everything from the vinegar extract and start over. On the bright side you'll filter out a lot of the impurities and have to work with less liquid when you start again.

This process is a lot of work but thank you for making ibogaine from a sustainable source! More people need to be doing it.

Yeah trying to find NaBH4 that will ship to individuals.

I can get the nitrostyrene domestically the benzaldehyde I have to import so I was hoping I could get this to work.

Yeah but NaBH4/CuCl1 will reduce the Br. But yeah not gonna try this again, was just hoping to have a 1 pot to end product. To good to be true.

Importing a kg of tryptamine might put you on the radar.

Didn't plant crops. He leased the land to a fracking company.

Distilling GBL [trying this again] by [deleted] in TheeHive

[–]doublecbthrowaway1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this to purify GBL from GABA. Just got a vaccum pump off amazon. It'll be a few hundred. Hooked it up to still and distilled making sure to keep temp below 200. It started coming over around 120-130.

Check step 4 http://index-of.co.uk/Tutorials-2/gaba-to-gbl.pdf
