Does DMT-Acetate become Polar in H2O, with added NaCl? I'm extracting DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine) from Acacia confusa via acid/base. I extracted the DMT with $\ce{H2O}$ and acetic acid, converting it to DMT-acetate.  Here, I used a non polar solvent, naptha, to defat the material, causing an emulsion. 

I used $\ce{NaCl}$ to break the emulsion, this caused a thick layer of black tar to form on top of the aqueous solution, and a glossy black tar on the bottom of the vessel.  I need to freebase the DMT acetate; however, I'm concerned that DMT-acetate migrated into one of the two polar layers.  (Correction: Either the non polar layer on top or gunk layer at the bottom)

How can I confirm if this is so? Does $\ce{NaCl}$ cause DMT acetate  (or any acetate) to become polar in $\ce{H2O}$? Why and how? Will the DMT acetate have migrated into any of these two polar layers?

In aqueous acidic solution, that is in the presence of a sufficient amount of acetic acid, N,N-dimethyltryptamine is protonated. The acetate is the counter ion of the ammonium salt. The compound does not become more polar by adding sodium chloride!

Are you having two polar layers? I doubt it. You're having a top unpolar layer, the aqueous layer and some gunk.

Take the separated aqueous layer, neutralize carefully, extract with an unpolar solvent of your choice, dry over sodium sulfate, remove the solvent in vacuum. If necessary, recrystallize and determine the yield.

Please keep in mind that DMT is a controlled substance in many countries!
