Hi there, I stumbled across some interesting videos from Chemplayer's channel regarding vanillin. With a simple Henry reaction you can make the correspondent nitrostyrene, which in this case is 4-hidroxy-3-methoxy-p2np which can be reduced to an amphetamine, more precisely to 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyamphetamine, or HMA, which is actually an active metabolite of MDMA. The question is: does this vanillin-amphetamine product have any pharmaceutical effect? I wished Shulgin would answer my question. Thank you in advance.
