Chris Jenks, Ph.D., recently self-published a guide to the semi-synthetic production of ibogaine hydrochloride via voacangine extracted from the Voacanaga africana tree. This document improves on previous Voacanga ibogaine production methods by reducing the cost, level of technology and amount of training required and improving the scalability and environmental friendliness of the process.
The following links, as well as a thorough ibogaine bibliography, can be found on www.puzzlepiece.org.
There are four documents, each outlining a phases of the extraction process.
Phase 1: Isolation of Total Alkaloids PDF – Photos
Phase 2: Separation of voacangine from more basic alkaloids PDF – Photos
Phase 3: Final purification of voacangine PDF – Photos
Phase 4: Production and Purification of Ibogaine PDF – Photos
Note: An updated version with photos organized throughout the voacanga ibogaine production guide will be released, and an update posted here, within a month.
