CHCl3 is not a problem for me and neither is KOH. I haven't read your link on formylation, but I will be sure to check it out. If SnCl4 is stannous chloride, then that is no problem either, but I'm sure that I don't have access to that chloro methyl methyl ether stuff anyway. My biggest problems are a lack of organic synthesis experience and an unwillingness to perform any reaction that has been specifically outlawed according to Shulgin's other book, "Controlled Substances."
Analogues, homologues and other issues supposedly covered by the Analogue Act do not intimidate me, because my lawyer has been before the Supreme Court before, and if the Supreme Court were to decide that it is ok to convict one of its citizens for something that s/he invented before they specifically outlawed it, then that is just wrong and I wouldn't mind going to jail for doing so just to set the precedent, although I'd rather not of course. Furthermore, this is more of a religious issue to me, and the apple did supposedly come from the tree of knowledge. The fact that cannabis sativa and apple trees both contain
1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene only strengths my resolve, but at any rate, I have said too much and have got to go. Just to reiterate, I have never made an illegal drug before and have no intentions of doing so, although I have taken quite a few that others have made and am not sorry. If 2,4,6-TMPEA were simply an analogue or homologue of some forbidden fruit, then that would be one thing, but as it stands, it's just too similar to mescaline (as a conformational isomer of mescaline) for me to commit myself to in today's legal environs. Like I said, I'm mainly just curious.
