Has anyone ever considered brominating 3,4, Methylenedioxy phenol, and then putting it through an enolate(25%NaOH) acetone reaction to get MDP2P. I think it should work. A halide benzene works with acetone enolate to make regular ol P2P.
Its easy enough to find that I dont see the point to synthing it personaly, atleast fr the time being
mdp2p isn't that easy to get as far as i know. it's watched heavily. not to mention if customs caught you with it, they'd do some investigating.
Hey, me and my chem buddy came across your post, and we were interested in it's level of truth, but after much research we couldn'd find anything that proves it ture. Can you lead us to the proper infrommation so I can prove to my friend it's possible.
^^this forum is bad ass- MDP2P would be fire i believe. please please try it out and report findings!!
MDP2P is not readily available from chemical suppliers for the local Joe to buy. It is a highly controlled substance for the one reason only because it's a drug precursor. Safrole is watched likewise.
3,4-Methylenedioxybromobenzene (1-Bromo-3,4-Methylenedioxybenzene) is the intermediate. I was thinking maybe 1-Bromo-3,4-Methylenedioxybenzene can react with Acetone enolate under anhydrous(dry) conditions to create MDP2P. Maybe under a nitrogen atmosphere, using DMSO solvent, and using FeBr2 as a catalist. It might form it in a few hours. It's just theory. The DMSO can be removed at around 73 degrees Celsius at 10mmHg. The MDP2P could be vacuum distilled at around 110 degrees Celsius at 10 mmHg. The normal atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg. Keep in mind that temperatures higher than 125 degrees Celsius will surely destroy the methylenedioxy ring. AlCl3 also destroys the methylenedioxy ring. I hope someone tries it!
