Title: Methoxamine
Post by: Vibrating_Lights on June 03, 2002, 07:12:00 AM
Looking at the chemical structure of Methoxamine is it concieveable then that the 2-amino-1-(2,5dimethoxyphenyl)-1-propanol could be reduced via HI to the amphetamine. or any of the various ephedrine pathways.

I believe this has been brought up before, and it was concluded that, at least with the HI reduction, the methoxy groups would be torn to pieces.

Title: things from methoxamine

should reduce with cat h2 and a small amount of phosphoric acid to 2,5 dma. the phosphoric acid shouldn't cleave the meos.
it could be brominated then oxidised to dob (cath)inone. there might be a problem with the hydroxy group being chewed up. I would guess that dob-inone would be have a few unwanted cardiovascular effects though

or it could be turned into an aminorex derivative, possibly with a halo 4 substituent added in prior to ring closure.

I guess though that economics dictate it isn't going to be a good starting material.
