d1ssonanc3: Glad you bowed out now that you ran out of accusations. Sesamol is the correct spelling and is not the same compound as benzodioxole. Sesamol has an alcohol group opposite to the dioxy bridge. Even if you could figure out the proper feedstock your yields are gona be total shit. You will end up doing more work synthesizing the safrole than you will turning that into mdma. Have you heard of anyone on any message board synthesizing 1L+ of safrole? Its just not viable unless you get your rocks of to total synthesis. The reason I prefer the halosafrole route to the buffered peracid method is because to anyone but a total newb its better in every way. People drool over that method because they look at the chemicals list and its all OTC. Its just appealing to the uneducated eye. The yields suck and there are a ton of manipulations involved. With my method you dont have to do any distilling until you have already made your freebase, and thats just to remove solvent. My method can be used to make 1kg of mdma.hcl in the same amount of effort and space as it would take you to make 10g using the peroxy. Thanks for the free advice but I guess you get what you pay for.
