Would this work?
Mix powdered bark and equal amount of NAOH with small amount of water creating a paste to basify. Dry to powder.
Mix powder into hot Naptha and reflux for 20 minutes.
Pour though filter, collect naptha and precipitate, evaporate etc.
My line of reasoning here is that it's easier to dissolve DMT freebase into naptha than pull out of 10 times the volume of water.
What am I missing here if anything? Anyone try this?
