Let’s say you dilute fine mushroom powder in 10% acetic acid and stirr it. Then heating up to 70c and stirring for 10 mins. Then cooling down to room temperature with cold water. Then vacuum filtration through cotton. With concentrated ammonia increasing pH to 8 and extract Psilocin freebase with ethyl acetate.
Then cleaning ethyl acetate with satured salt solution (brine) and separating from water with sodium sulphate.
Then drying ethyl acetate under vacuum with a warm water bath (rotary evaporation..
Now maybe prepare the mix (**1**) Psilocin with acetic anhydride (1,1mol) and sodium acetate (0,1mol) and stirring well under inert gas condition ( nitrogen ballon).
Is it possible to use ethyl acetate to dissolve the mix (**1**) to make sure the reaction is efficient? In theory we don’t want to waste acetic
