Clandestine manufacture of 3, 4-methylenedioxymethylamphetamine (MDMA) by low pressure reductive amination. A mass spectrometric study of some reaction …

Abstract

Attention is paid here to a synthesis of MDMA consisting of a low pressure reductive amination of 3, 4-(methylenedioxy) phenylpropanone with methylmine. The structures of several compounds present in reaction mixtures were elucidated by means of mass …
