Determination of synthesis route of 1-(3, 4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-propanone (MDP-2-P) based on impurity profiles of MDMA

Abstract

Abstract In our study 1-(3, 4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-propanone (MDP-2-P or PMK) was prepared by two different routes, ie by oxidizing isosafrole in an acid medium and by 1-(3, 4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-nitropropene reduction. The final product-MDP-2-P was subjected …
