Re: Notes from a failed psilocin extraction (update: 2nd attempt) [Re: OmEgAx1]

I think I may have found some answers. First, to answer Om's question: Conversion to psilocin does make for a more unstable compound, but it allows you to use an acid/base extraction to effectively isolate the pure compount. I can offer some suggestions to CT: Heat the mush and acetic only up to 70 degrees C. Even 60 degrees should be ok. Heat up to this temperature quickly (by immersing in boiling water) and after reaching this temp, cool vessel under running water to quickly reduce the temperature. At high temperatures, psilocin will break down quickly. If you have the capability, it is best to do this in an inert gas enviroment, but yields can be good even without this method. Use dilute NaoH to basify (10% is ok, but add dropwise with stirring) to a pH of 8. Try not to overshoot this, as too strong of a base will breakdown psilocin. It is also critical to basify slowly for one of the reasons already pointed out here (non-linear scale). Immediately add suitable solvent (chloroform is good, naptha does not have good solubility for psilocin, DCM should be ok too, but this has not been tried to my knowledge) and GENTLY mix for about 2 minutes. Evaporate choloform (again, preferably under N2 or argon, but ok at atmosphere) to yield yellow xtals. These are ususally not very pure (say 50-70% pure) and can be crystallized in a mixture of chloroform/heptane (1:3) to yield slighly yellow transparent psilocin xtals which will turn green after a few weeks at room temp.
