Pepper to make MDMA?

doesn't really matter were you place it, but it would be best if you placed it in it's own, new thread.

Well, I am a newbie, so don't listen to me - but it seems we don't have detailed method anywhere that gives nearly the yield you are getting. So I think it might be appropriate to post it in a new thread in either this forum or the "Novel Discourse" forum. Wherever you end up posting it, it'll be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I am having trouble finding any sort of reference for piperic acid to piperonyl.

It would be nice to have a more selective oxidation from piperic acid. 

I can't find this

Could some one else get these:
J. Am. Chem. Soc. 94, 4024 (1972);
J. Org. Chem. 43, 1532 (1978)

How about these other routes to the aldehyde:
