Look at this!
(https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/hive/hiveboard/picproxie_docs/000322750-file_svdy.gif)
it's from http://www.orgsyn.org/orgsyn/prep.asp?rxntypeid=80&prep=CV5P0139 (http://www.orgsyn.org/orgsyn/prep.asp?rxntypeid=80&prep=CV5P0139)
If one use 4-methyl-2,5-dimethoxyanilin (wich easy to produce by reduction of 4-nitro-2,5-benzaldehyde, wich produced by nitration of 2,5-DMBA) instead of 4-methyl-2-bromoanilin, finaly we produce 4-methyl-2,5-DMBA a direct precursor for DOM ;D
SWIT also thinks it's easy way to some other pretty X-methyl-phenethylamines.
Matrix... may tricks?

Questions to experienced bees:
Is this reaction useful to methoxy (or methylenedioxy) aninlines?
if so: 8)
if not: ::)

Sorry, :-[ i was thinking using this reaction after a Schmidt rearrangement (Vogel p898-9), that would bee an interesting route to piperonal from piperonylic acid (obtained from piperine), but i don't think the methylenedioxy ring will survive the Schmidt reaction (10% oleum/sulfuric acid medium)... anyway it could bee aplied to other benzoic acids.
