Dmt....tmt?

[5-MEO-W]

Hey guys, so we all know that there is a DMT molecule...but what about a TMT molecule, that is Trimethyltryptamine? Can anyone comment on this? Sorry I am not a chemist so don't laugh if it is a stupid question.

N,N,N-trimethyltryptamine? Lol

1,n,n-TMT; 5,n,n-TMT; 7,n,n-TMT; 2,n,n-TMT all showed up on a cursory google search. 5-MeO-TMT was covered in tihkal.

N,N,N-trimethyltryptamine would be a quaternary amine salt (permanently charged) so it wouldn't pass through the BBB. Such things typically find use as cleaning agents, like soaps. Quite a common DMT synthesis actually proceeds through this intermediate which results from overalkylation of tryptamine by methyl halides, usually methyl iodide (iodomethane). It is completely inactive.

... Unless you are talking about N,N-dimethyl-alpha-methyltryptamine, which is called TMT. Refer to TiHKAL.

Chemistry is so interesting. Too bad I know next to nothing about it.

I think having the 3rd methyl on the 2-position is supposed to make it orally active, but I don't think it's true that the nature of the activity is more or less unaltered which is something I think I remember someone saying. I have 5-MeO-TMT which I think has it on the 2-position so it's 2,N,N-. Not tried it yet though.
Apparently the plain (non 5-MeO) version of 2,N,N-trimethyltryptamine is not dubbed TMT by Shulgin but rather 2-Me-DMT.
It doesn't sound very interesting. http://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/tihkal/tihkal34.shtml
5-MeO-TMT also sounds too intoxicating for my taste, a bit icky... http://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/tihkal/tihkal45.shtml

I always thought 2-me-DMT sounded very interesting, although not from a psychedelic angle. More from a sexy times with the lady friend kind of angle.

My my, you have some exotic things in your collection don't you? It sounds like an interesting one.
