Hello,my friends!
Ever wanted to make your own drugs?
Well,here's a synthesis for methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA or Ecstasy).
It is an mild hallucinogenic amphetamine, active in a dose of 200 mg.
It is still legal here in Sweden but for how long?

I will continue to upload several other syntheses for drugs
that you can,if you can get the chemicals and glassware,make at home.
I will not get deep into the process,it requires you know advanced
laboratory technique,so I will keep it as short as possible.

Just a few words of warning:This is NOT for the complete idiot!
Inexpert procedures can,among other things,asphyxiate you,blow you up,
set you (or your house) on fire and if the end product is imperfectly
prepared,poison you and your friends.
If you dont know what you're doing, take this
to someone who does. I would rather that we both made
a new friend than that I lost you as an old one.

Good luck and be careful.

                     3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine
                  ----------------------------------
40.4 g 3,4-methylenedioxybensaldehyde and 16 g nitroethane in
150 ml glacial acetic acid and 15 g ammoniumacetate.
Reflux 1.5 hours; cool,filter and recrystallize from acetic acid or
methanol to get the nitropropene.

Reduce the nitropropene as follows:
Suspend 0.2 M of the nitropropene and Zn-Hg from 200 g Zn and 20 g HgCl2
in 2 L ethanol and add with vigorous stirring portions of concentrated
HCl until the yellow colour disappears.
Continue stirring one half hour,filter,evaporate in vacuum to get
about 0.14 M of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine.

If you want the hydrochloride salt of the amine,dissolve it in ether and
mix with one third its volume of absolute ethanol.
Slowly and with continous swirling and ice cooling add concentrated
hydrochloric acid until no more crystals precipitates.
Cool to 0 and filter to get the amine hydrochloride.

Regarding the reduction,I would rather use an lithiumaluminiumhydride
reduction process instead of Zn-Hg since Hg salts are very poisonous.It would
decrease the risk of dangerous impurities in the final product.
I will be back when I have one that works good.

See you!
