2-dimethylaminoethanol

[BizzyBee]

Can any series of rxns turn DMAE into a active designer
drug?

[Rhodium]

Yes, halogenation of the alcohol followed by reaction with indole grignard gives DMT:

Well ive read

https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/dmt.indole.grignard.html%83

a few few times and utfse and im still lost on whare to
start.

So halogenation of 2-methylaminoethylene = ?

Can the halogenation be done with HI or is a bromide
needed?

[Rhodium]

"2-Methylaminoethylene"? Didn't you speak of dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) before?

It doesn't matter if you iodinate or brominate, both halogens will be reactive enough.

[BizzyBee]

Yes Dimethyl was what swim meant.

So when 2DMAE is halogenated what is the name of the next
reaction to get DMT and what chemicals [easiest rout] are
needed?

[Rhodium]

Did you even follow the link I gave you?

Just... type "anandamide" into a google image search... think about it... you'll come up with something.
