So as I’m sure a few of you have gathered iv been trying the ketone catalysis of tryptophan to yield tryptamine but was having issues.
turns out I just couldn’t follow instructions because I was taking breaks, not making notes and forgetting where I was.
I’m pleased to say iv corrected these and I ended up with this….
What do we think? I wanted to do TLC but only have MASSIVE plates and I firstly wasn’t sure what chems I use to ‘develop’ said TLC plate but also would the huge size - I’m talking 20cmx10cm, cause any issues with the absorption of the droplet? Also I take it I just dissolve a tiny bit of it in water and then do the whole stretching a capillary tube to make a ‘micro-pipette’ to drop a drop onto the plate then wait for it to absorb into the silica before standing it upright and putting into the MASSIVE developing tank (or large mason jar) that I would use to develop it.
sorry if I’m using wrong terminology, I’m learning on the go but have come so far in just a few months.
sorry I know there is a lot in this post, a lot of questions and stuff so I appologise, I just figure someone on here HAS done this before…surely
