They found out about , finally. Not even on a forum!

This should probably go in the Den of Inquity but I think this is sorta relevant to the board.

They've known about it.  I read a DEA forensic report over a year ago relating to .  About the same wording that was used in the link that you provided.  Thank pnaut being damn near top of any google search when helional is placed in the search field.  This compound has been widely discussed over there, and there is absolutely no requirement for registration before viewing the forums.

While this might not bee the reason that the linked report was written.........it is most certainly the reason that so many folks know about it, amd why it is showing up in labs all over the world.  Order as much as you can now, cuz i see this as being "listed" in the very near future. 

And even after several WELL RESPECTED bees posted in the original thread by twodogs to close and lock the thread...........alas, it never happened.  And at what cost?

If you build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day.
If you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life

Here is the full paper for those interested:

Abstract

An unknown compound from a putative clandestine laboratory was analyzed by GC–MS, GC-IRD, IR (ATR), and NMR and found to be ?-methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyphenylpropionamide (MMDPPA), an unusual precursor for the synthesis of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), a Schedule I controlled substance. A portion of this precursor was subjected to the Hofmann Degradation (i.e., Hofmann Rearrangement) reaction using a sodium hypochlorite solution (bleach) to produce the expected compound, MDA. When excess hypochlorite was used in the reaction, a second, unexpected, compound was formed. Use of the listed instrumentation identified the new material as 2-chloro-4,5-methylenedioxyamphetamine, a compound not previously identified in the forensic literature.
