This formula is exemplified for MDA (3,4-Methylenedioxy-
|
||
|
|
phenylisopropylamine); substituting N-methyl formamide
|
||
|
|
results in MDMA or N-methyl MDA (Ecstacy).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To a cooled mixture of 34 g 30% H2O2 and 150 g formic acid, add
|
||
|
|
dropwise a solution of 32.4 g (0.2M) isosafrole in 120 ml acetone,
|
||
|
|
(keep temperature below 30 degrees) Let stand twelve hours and
|
||
|
|
evacuate in vacuum. Add 60 ml methanol and 369 g 15% sulfuric
|
||
|
|
acid to the residue and heat on a water bath three hours. Cool,
|
||
|
|
extract with ether or benzene and evaporate in vacuum the extract
|
||
|
|
to give 20 g 3,4,-methylenedioxybenzylmethyl ketone.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add 23 g of above ketone to 65 g formamide and heat at 190 degrees
|
||
|
|
for five hours. Cool, add 100 ml H2o2, extract with benzene and
|
||
|
|
evaporate in vacuum the extract. Add 8 ml methanol and 57 ml 15%
|
||
|
|
HCL to residue, heat on water bath two hours and evaporate in
|
||
|
|
vacuum (or basify with KOH and extract the oil with benzene and dry,
|
||
|
|
evaporate in vacuum) to get 11.7 g MDA.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The above occurs as a yellowish brown oil; this is active orally,
|
||
|
|
but somewhat inconvenient; to convert to powder (salt) form, reflux
|
||
|
|
in Hydrochloric acid and evaporate.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Safrole, an allyl benzene, occurs naturally in oil of sassafras,
|
||
|
|
about 70%. Can be extracted with simple distillation. It is con-
|
||
|
|
verted to isosafrole (a propenyl benzene) by adding equal weight
|
||
|
|
of KOH flakes and absolute ethanol and heating on steam bath or
|
||
|
|
refluxing for 24 hours; dried and evaporated in vacuum or added
|
||
|
|
with two time its volume in water and extracted with ether or
|
||
|
|
methylene chloride and dried, evaporated in vacuum. Hexane is used
|
||
|
|
for recrystalization.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Formamide and N-methyl formamide are closely watched by the DEA.
|
||
|
|
Many people have been busted by small suppliers where it was easy
|
||
|
|
to get; those are "sting" operations that tail the buyer home.
