Sorry about the mistake with Nitrometh, of course it's Hydroxylamine....... I'm getting ahead of myself again.
Well, this seems the best way for me to get there. The only procedure here that I'm not sure about is the bromination of 1,4 DiMeOBenzene to 2,5 DiMeOBromoBenzene, I think it may Brominate multiple positions. Is there any way to know for sure that no diBromo or even tetra or Hexa bromo will form.
Yes, I know that no sunlight and low temp will help for this step.
You mentioned easier methods, wanna PM me?
Oops, seems Rhod and I were posting at the same time. This just confirms my fears. That Mn(III) synth makes me down right sad, the yeild makes it almost unworkable. I'm not going to use 500g of HQ to produce only 20g of precursor.
Anyone got any other (BETTER) ideas.
Thanks for the feedback Rhodium!!
I don't know how you do it, but you're everywhere.
