The Virola sebifera Compendium Thread

[―λlτεrηĭτγ⇀]

• Virola sebifera:
      N-methyl-N-formyltryptamine
      N-methyl-N-acetyltryptamine
      2-Methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline
      N,N-dimethyltryptamine

Bark of Virola sebifera used in the preparation of hallucinogenic snuffs and drinks in Venezuela has yielded N-methyl-N-formyltryptamine and N-methyl-N-acetyltryptamine, which exist in two rotameric forms reflecting hindered rotation around the carbon—nitrogen bond of the amide function. They were detected by HPLC as well as NMR. 2-Methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline, N,N-dimethyltryptamine, its oxide and N-monomethyltryptamine were also identified.
