Do certain amides change forms from pH?


For example. Lysergic acid amide. If that amide was exposed in low pH (say 2) would the molecule turn into a salt?

And would it become freebase if it was exposed to a base (10-13 pH)?

Where would someone find information on similar amides? And solubilities of Salts/Freebase forms?

kerousel, I believe an amine is different then an amide.
lysergic acid amide has a secondary amine, a tertiary amine, and an amide.

Edit: use a solvent like ethanol to extract them if you are going too.

I'm not sure what kerousel is, but I don't think it relates to amides.

I'm not extracting them, I was curious if they would change forms from freebase to salt and what solvents would they be able to be dissolved in. If you could point me in the direct to know if the freebase/salts were polar/nonpolar I'd be greatful.
