Hi,
taking a look around that link, i noticed two interesting things about nutmeg... (they're right at the top!)
1-(3,4,5-TRIMETHOXYPHENYL)-2-(4-ALLYL-2,6-DIME...PROPAN-1-OL
1-(4-HYDROXY-3-METHOXYPHENYL)-2-(4-ALLYL-2,6DI...PROPAN-1-OL
would extracting these propanol's straight from nutmeg & aminating be a feasible method of producing tma-3 / escaline(??) or does the double bond have to be at the second position??
(My First Post!)
I'm new! Take everything i say with a pinch of RbCl!
