I bet you could make the bromine derivative and then replace the bromine with flourine later.
I'm not sure how you'd do it, but that seems more practical to me then trying to get F2 - which literally burns water. 

Perhaps HF would replace it producing HBr?
I doubt it... look at how other flurobenzenes are made.. that could help you out a lot.

Read the bioassays, then stop caring about fluoro derivatives of the dimethoxy's hahahaha

No effects from 2C-F, and DOF is reported to be 4-6 times less potent than DOB and DOI.

Your idea of fun is lower potancy? If you where the travel adviser of chemistry I would not book my vacation with you, I would say I want fun and you would see if you can make it as dull as possible.

Me:" I want fun and adventure"

You: "Ok sir we have you booked with a time share seminar and then you will watch as other people play limbo all night"

Hey all, Just wondering - say if someone wanted to reduce the unsaturated beta-nitrostyrene, and leaving the nitro intact. Is their a way to do this, other than yeast, which I think would do that well. I am not sure, I haven't done it, and of course its theoretical..

Thanks in advance

Also Been  looking at the use of clay doped with metal nitrate, or ammonia nitrate in a domestic microwave oven..to produce the beta-nitrostyrene -  yields aren't great - but not bad at a (60 - 70%), but considering elcheapo monomer and metal nitrate and time factor, it sort of looks good.. I haven't checked around though, so perhaps what I am stating is so all 90's stuff,, OH well. A bit of a slow learner perhaps
Ill attach it anyway.. and Douchemann, the para got sorted, 2/3 solid, 1/3 solution, conc sulfuric. I am still looking though..

thanks poisoninthestain.. I have seen something like this, and cant find it.. Yeast would do it, I thought..It could of even been a type of Urushibara, Ill keep looking..

Dont know where I was going with that, as yeast will reduce nitro groups in basic conditions, or so a couple or lit articles state. I have seen it somewhere, will keep looking..

I don't have any first hand experience or references but I know secondary alcohols can be oxidized into ketones, but the amine might also get oxidized into a nitro, nitrile, or something like that. If one were to use ephedrine, they could probably oxidize it to methcathinone, but I don't know how great the yeilds would be...
I'd like to know if that ketone can be transformed to just a hydrogen, reduced maybe with ZnHg/HCl. I don't know.

Sodium hydroxide with aspirin will produce the salts of the acids yes. salicylic acid is easily precipitated with the addition of acid, while acetic acid remains in solution, obviously.

Benzoic acid is not easy to get from salicylic acid, as you'd need to remove the phenol, OH, group. This is very difficult to do as far as I know. Your best bet is the oxidation of toluene with Mn persulfate, KMnO4, or probably some other nice oxidizers.

@Vesp:

Is it really that simple? Seems way to easy, and so I'm skeptical of it.
 You just mix and heat paraformaldehyde, with the hydrated form of oxalic acid, and tryptophan at 100*C for a few hours, to get the N,N-Dimethyl tryptophan, which can easily be decarboxylated to DMT. I always thought DMT was going to be way more difficult then that!
I don't think I am missing anything, but like I said, that is just to simple..so is there a catch?

It's entirely untrue as you are likely aware. Page 88 of Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry vol.3 states that cyclisation of tryptophan occurs even in alkaline conditions. However, there has been a reportedly simple synthesis of indole-3-acetaldehyde (essentially tryptophan and NaClO). This might then be reacted with the proper dialkylammonium formate, without quite so much risk of cyclisation (as far as I know); I have also seen reference to the reduction of imines with zinc dust/powder? in dilute NaOH - I don't know if that would work in this case being an iminium salt. Formic acid can of course be made from glycerol/oxalic acid. That would leave the dialkylamine to be reckoned with somehow...

Question: Can orthoborate esters R₃BO₃ be employed as N-alkylating agents? I've seen no references to this having been done successfully or even attempted, but I can't see why it wouldn't work. I do know that the adduct can be formed, the tendency possibly slowing the reaction, however under the proper conditions (higher heat, longer reaction time?) even a relatively low yield would be justifiable given borate esters damn easy production.

45C is about 120-125mm.  The chart you are looking for is called a nomograph

If it's built right, maybe.  I know a decent one can boil water at room temp (21C), which is about 40mm.
