Title: 2,3-DM-4,5-MD-P2NP -> DMMDA-2 methods
Post by: SpicyBrown on December 09, 2001, 11:06:00 AM

After UTFSE'ing for a while, it seems like there's mention of NaBH4+Al/Hg failures, and not much else regarding the reduction of the dillapiole nitropropene to the amine in the pursuit of DMMDA-2.

Is there any reason an Urushibara type reduction with nickel shouldn't work?

No, it has been shown to work with standard amphetamine in at least 60% yield, so it should work here too.
