seperating LSA from cyanide glycosides
« on: April 19, 2005, 02:33:07 PM »
i am theoretically trying to figure out a practical way of isolating LSA (lysergic acid amide) from :Edited:.

there are 2 main substances i would like to make sure are removed during the process.  the first is an unknown oily substance which is easily removed by defatting in a non-polar.
the second is cyanide glycosides, which can cause feelings of sickness.  this is the substance i am having trouble removing.

the proposed:
say i have in a beaker a mixture of LSA, water, and cyanogenic glycosides at a PH of 4.  If i was to basify to PH12.5 and add a non-polar, would this move the LSA freebase alone into the non-polar, or would the glycosides come with it?

are there any simpler methods of removing the glycosides, without use of complex equipment or chemicals?
thanks

Thread locked unless you can give me a good reason why you want to isolate this material.

And recreational use is not a good reason.
