Acacia mimosa

It has become customary to call the principal members of this group the lupin alkaloids, but in view of their wide distribution in the Papilionaceae, a better title is that suggested above, since they appear to be the characteristic alkaloids of this leguminous sub-family. This is not the only type of alkaloid found in the Leguminosae other types occur, e.g., in Acacia (p. 631), Crotalaria (p. 601), Erythrina (p. 386), Mimosa (p. 4) and Pentaclethra (p. 776).

EXTENSIONS AND COMMENTARY N-Methyltryptamine (monomethyltryptamine, NMT) is an alkaloid that has been found in the bark, shoots and leaves of several species of Virola, Acacia and Mimosa. However, the major snuffs associated with these plant have been shown to also contain 5-MeO-DMT and are discussed there. NMT has been synthesized in a number of ways. One can react 3-(2-bromoethyl)indole with methylamine. NMT can be isolated as the benzoyl derivative from the methylation of tryptamine with methyl iodide followed by reaction with benzoyl chloride, with the hydrolysis of this amide with alcoholic KOH. It can also be synthesized from indole with oxalyl chloride, with the resulting glyoxyl chloride reacting with methylamine in ether to give indol-3-yl N-methylglyoxalylamide (mp 223-224 °C from IPA) which is obtained in a 68% yield, which is reduced to NMT to give the amine hydrochloride (mp 175-177 °C from ) in a 75% yield. The most simple and direct synthesis is the formamide reduction given above. 

DMT, or N,N-dimethyltryptamine, is a hallucinogenic chemical found in a variety of natural and synthetic compounds. It is present in many plant genera Acacia, Anadenanthera, Mimosa, Piptadenia, Virola) and is a major component of several hallucinogenic snuffs (cohoba, parica, yopo). DMT is also present in the intoxicating beverage ayahuasca, which is made from Banis-teriopsis caapi plants. 

The only tannins in the world currently being commercially exploited for adhesive applications are those isolated by hot- (or cold-) water extraction of Acacia meamsii bark in the province of Natal, South Africa. Approximately 100,000 tons of mimosa tannin were being produced annually as reported in 1980, the latest year for which production figures were available (41)- Of this amount, about 10,000 tons were used in adhesive applications mainly in South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. While this number is not large in light of the 300,000 to 400,000 tons of phenol used annually in resins, it does provide evidence that bark tannins can be economically used for adhesives. This application is facilitated by the relatively high cost of phenol and resorcinol in... 

The gluing experiments were done with commercially available starch, proteins (casein, glutin) and tannins of mimosa Acacia spp.), Pinus radiatay and quebracho (Schinopsis spp.) and with tannins extracted from the bark of spruce (Picea abies) and common pine (Pinus sylvestris). The extractions were carried out with water or organic solvents under alkali and/or sulphite conditions on a laboratory scale aiming at optimization of yield and polyphenolic extract content. After extraction, the solutions were concentrated under reduced pressure and freeze dried. One pine bark extract was modified with phenol. A summary of the tannin extracts and their properties is given in Table I.
