MDMA Synthesis: Bromosafrole method

Scanned fom _Secrets of Mthamphetamine Maufacture_

A good alternative to the Ritter reaction is a two step procedure

first reacting safrole with hydrobromic acid to give 3,4-methylenedi-

oxyphenyl-2-bromopropane, and then taking this material and reacting

it with either ammonia or methylamine to yield MDA or MDMA

respectively. This procedure has the advantages of not being at all

sensitive to batch size, nor is it likely to "run away" and produce a

tarry mess. It shares with the Ritter reaction the advantage of using

cheap, simple, and easily available chemicals.

The sole disadvantage of this method is the need to do the final

reaction with ammonia or methylamine inside a sealed pipe. This is

because the reaction must be done in the temperature range of 120-

140 C, and the only way to reach this temperature is to seal the

reactants up inside of a bomb. This is not particularly dangerous, and

is quite safe if some simple precautions are taken.

The first stage of the conversion, the reaction with hydrobromic

acid, is quite simple, and produces almost a 100% yield of the bromi-

nated product. See the Journal of Biological Chemistry, Volume 108

page 619. The author is H.E. Carter. Also see Chemical Abstracts

1961, column 14350. The following reaction takes place:

[ Structural diagrams deleted]

To do the reaction, 200 ml of glacial acetic acid is poured into a

champagne bottle nestled in ice. Once the acetic acid has cooled

down, 300 grams (200 ml) of 48% hydrobromic acid is slowly added

with swirling. Once this mixture has cooled down, 100 grarns of

safrole is slowly added with swirling. Once the safrole is added, the

cheap plastic stopper of the champagne bottle is wired back into

place, and the mixture is slowly allowed to come to room temperature

with occasional shaking. After about 12 hours the original two layers

will merge into a clear red solution. In 24 hours, the reaction is done.

The chemist carefully removes the stopper from the bottle, wearing

eye protection. Some acid mist may escape from around the stopper.

The reaction mixture is now poured onto about 500 grams of

crushed ice in a 1000 or 2000 ml beaker. Once the ice has melted, the

red layer of product is separated, and the water is extracted with about

l00 ml of petroleum ether or regular ethyl ether. The ether extract is

added to the product, and the combined product is washed first with

water, and then with a solution of sodium carbonate in water. The

purpose of these washings is to remove HBr from the product. One

can be sure that all the acid is removed from the product when some

fresh carbonate solution does not fizz in contact with the product.

Once all the acid in the product is removed, the ether must be

removed from it. This is important because if the ether were allowed

to remain in it, too much pressure would be generated in the next

stage inside of the bomb. Also, it would interfere with the formation

of a solution between the product and methylamine or ammonia. It is

not necessary to distill the product because with a yield of over 90%,

the crude product is pure enough to feed into the next stage. To

remove the ether from the product, the crude product is poured into a

flask, and a vacuum is applied to it. This causes the ether to boil off.

Some gentle heating with hot water is quite helpful to this process.

The yield of crude product is in the neighborhood of 200 grams.

With the bromo compound in hand, it is time to move onto the

next step which gives MDA or MDMA. See Chemical Abstracts

1961, column 14350. Also see Journal of the American Chemical

Society, Volume 68, page 1805 and Journal of the Chemistry Society,

part 2 1938, page 2005. The bromo compound reacts with ammonia

or methylamine to give MDA or MDMA:

[ Sructural diagram deleted ]

To do the reaction, 50 grams of the bromo compound is poured

into a beaker, and 200 ml of concentrated ammonium hydroxide (28%

NH3) or 40% methylamine is added. Next, isopropyl alcohol is added

with stirring until a nice smooth solution is formed. It is not good to

add too much alcohol because a more dilute solution reacts slower.

Now the mixture is poured into a pipe "bomb." This pipe should be

made of stainless steel, and have fine threads on both ends. Stainless

steel is preferred because the HBr given off in the reaction will rust

regular steel. Both ends of the pipe are securely tightened down. The

bottom may even be welded into place. Then the pipe is placed into

cooking oil heated to around 130 C. This temperature is maintained

for about 3 hours or so, then it is allowed to cool. Once the pipe is

merely warm, it is cooled down some more in ice, and the cap

unscrewed.

The reaction mixture is poured into a distilling flask, the glass-

ware rigged for simple distillation, and the isopropyl alcohol and

excess ammonia or methylamine is distilled off. When this is done,

the residue inside the flask is made acid with hydrochloric acid. If

indicating pH paper is available, a pH of about 3 should be aimed for.

This converts the MDA to the hydrochloride which is water soluble.

Good strong shaking of the mixture ensures that this conversion is

complete. The first stage of the purification is to recover unreacted

bromo compound. To do this, 200 to 300 ml of ether is added. After

some shaking, the ether layer is separated. It contains close to 20

grams of bromo compound which may be used again in later batches.

Now the acid solution containing the MDA is made strongly basic

with lye solution. The mixture is shaken for a few minutes to ensure

that the MDA is converted to the free base. Upon sitting for a few

minutes, the MDA floats on top of the water as a dark colored oily

layer. This layer is separated and placed into a distilling flask. Next,

the water layer is extracted with some toluene to get out the remaining

MDA free base. The toluene is combined with the free base layer, and

the toluene is distilled off. Then a vacuum is applied, and the mixture

is fractionally distilled. A good aspirator with cold water will bring

the MDA off at a temperature of 150 to 160 C. The free base should

be clear to pale yellow, and give a yield of about 20 ml. This free base

is made into the crystalline hydrochloride by dissolving it in ether and

bubbling dry HCl gas through it.

you definetely wont get an answer from somone that reads, i have it call me at 718-555-6789 x252 between 8-12 tonite. bee a little discreet about it, or get to a club and make friends, unfortunately i hate clubs as of late but i might change that...
