Please forgive me, as I have absolutely no formal OChem training, but I got this idea the other day. Say someone whipped up some bromosafrole. Could they not form a grignard reagent with it, then react it with N-bromo Methanamine, and I guess hydrolize with sat. ammonium chloride, and give MDMA? I couldn't find a bromoamine, or anything like that, the closest thing I could think of was getting hydroxylamine and brominating it in the same way as allyl acohol-->allyl bromide. Could this work?
