I think it's just a logP partition.
Most certainly. It's just a solid-liquid bisphasic extraction, as I believe I've mentioned before on Therapy. That's why it's unlikely to completely remove the TCA, though it may reduce it below the threshold of perception, and also why it'll remove other hydrophobic goodies.

Fortunately, 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine has a low affinity for polyethylene.
And you know this, how?? For the record, the free base of 2-CB should be fairly lipophilic (computed logP of 2.11 +/- 0.41 vs. logP of TCA of 3.85 +/- 0.14)
Just curious,

Slaton, you need to read up on the classics: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1120990?dopt=Abstract
No logPs involved - just a quick back-of-the-envelope look at the charge density map of the molecule.originally posted by MLipton:

Now that I double check, It seems clear I had a hallucination that several additional hydrophilic groups were present.
I blame it all on the 2C-B present in my corked (but not saran wrap-treated) wines.
...I seem to remember studying these in Chemistry in the '70's...I'm a little vague on the details, howeverfriendly molecular thingamabobs

Not a Catholic. Although I do drink with a lot of Catholics. It could be there fault. I was raised a Jew, so I KNOW it was all of YA'LLs faults. I bought the fridge before I started commenting on this board. But this bad ju-ju has only started to arise recently. The logical conclusion is that Coad has programmed a virus that can morph into TCA as I open my laptop, which happens to be in my office where I keep my wine.
In that case God is testing you. Not much you can do about it. It happens. All the time. If you feel the need to commiserate with someone you can read the book of Job.
