Well, the way you do extractions in general is pretty standard. You put the n-butanol with the amine hydrochloride in a separatory funnel and then add a little water - make sure the knob is closed! Then put the cap on and shake it around for a while. Vent it by opening the knob while it's aiming up, shake again, repeat a few times. Then get the water out, save it, put in a little more water, shake it around for a while...repeat as often as you like. Some of the product will end up in each water fraction. Do some Google searches for [extraction "separatory funnel"] and similar word combinations.
