i happen to have access to the necessary precursors - anthranilic or n-acetyl-anthranilic acid & o-toluidine.
& methaqualone has long been on my must-try list.
synth seems too easy.
from rhodium:
7g Anthranilic Acid, 5ml o-Toluidine and 4 ml glacial acetic acid was mixed in a round-bottomed flask. To this mixture was slowly added 40-50 grams of polyphosphoric acid, and the mixture was heated during 20-30 minutes to 140-160°C. After this, the mixture was heated to 180°C for 10 minutes, then cooled and poured in 150-200ml water, and neutralized with 20% Na2CO3 solution. Methanol was added until a lasting turbidity became present in the solution, and after one hour, the free base Methaqualone precipitated, mp 111-113°C, and was once more recrystallized in this fashion, mp 113-115°C. Yield 55%.
or, starting with n-acetyl-anthranilic acid:
o-Toluidine (10 grams) is mixed with a solution of N-acetylanthranilic acid (20 grams) in toluene (30 grams) in a vessel equipped with a stirrer and means of cooling. A solution of phosphorus oxychloride (10 grams) in toluene (30 grams) is added dropwise with stirring and then the temperature is raised to the boiling point for two hours with further stirring. After cooling, the precipitate so formed is filtered off, dried and dissolved in boiling dilute HCl. On cooling and making alkaline with NaOH, a viscous oil separates which crystallises after a few hours. The crystals are collected the next day and purified by recrystallisation from alcohol to yield about 80% of the theoretical quantity of methaqualone freebase (m.p. 114-115°C). The salts my be obtained by the addition of the appropriate acids to the base formed above.
where i reside, none of these chems is in the precursors or watched chems list, nor is methaqualone (or even if it is, it matters little, as it's virtually unknown here.. i doubt they can/would even test it, or that the drug enforcement has even ever heard of it).
so, thus, i plan to attempt this soon.
but i've never heard of anyone trying this, even though its so simple - if the source is to be trusted, and quaaludes are, from what i gather, very worth it.
it's quite rampant in south africa, apparently..
so, any comments - either about the manufacturing process, or the drug itself (it's alleged aphrodisiac properties seem weird to me, would really like to hear some first-hand info/reports on that), are very much welcomed and appreciated.

Cheapskate still posts once in a while at the Collective, he's never registered here 
What was said about it in:
It's on the UN list, bear that in mind 
It's a nervous system depressant and hypnotic, not an aphrodisiac
