AMT Freebase Oxidisation

[THECATINTHEHAT]

Title says it all really, just wondering if anyone knows what the oxidisation point of AMT freebase is?

edit: Also, as an afterthought, does the structure of the hcl part of a molecule differ depending on the compund it is attached to? If not, what is it's molecular weight? Just interested in working out the difference in weight between freebase AMT and the hcl salt.

Greetings mucker

I found this link and thought it'd be useful (if its correct, please someone doublecheck)

AMT freebase vs HCL

 

[THECATINTHEHAT]

Ah, hello my friend.

I'll have a little look at that link now.

edit: That link shows the difference in molecular weight nicely. To quote the author of the calculation:

Okay so if my computations are correct, the molecular weight for AMT freebase is 171 g/mol, the molecular weight of hydrochloride is 36.5 g/mol therefore the molecular weight of AMT HCl is 207.5 g/mol.

So that makes 50 mg AMT HCl equivalent to 171/207.5*50 = 41.2 mg of the free base.



Just need to find it's oxidisation temperature now. I'm geussing it's too low to be hit with a direct flame judging by other tryptamines.

I would say the way to do it would be to do it in a glass bulb (there are plenty of tutorials on the net for making one) or on tinfoil, you'll not go far wrong if you just heat it slowly untill you see vapors. Its not oxidation you're looking for its melting and vaporization point (someone correct me if i'm wrong).

I wanted to know it's oxidisation point so I could tell whether touching it with a butan flame would cause it to oxidise, hence making it inactive. If it was higher than the temp of a butane flam then I could just put some on a bong, if it's lower, the vapourisation will have to be the way.

Touching it with a flame will almost certainly cause it to degrade very rapidly, i.e. burn! I don't know what the oxidation point is, but I think we can assume it's pretty low as it doesn't take much for AMT to break down in open air/damp conditions at room temp.

Why all the fuss? Just vapourise it. I don't think any tryptamines are suitable for direct flame heating.
