Pages: 151 - 157

Abstract

The possibility of separating and identifying a number of indole bases related to tryptamine by gas chromatographic techniques has been investigated. Methods were found for the separation of positional isomers of phenolic amines and related compounds in this series. The major indole base of epena, a South American snuff with reported hallucinogenic properties, was found to be 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine.
