Best route to 5meo-Dipt is?

(1/3) > >>

Hierophant:
I posted to this forum before with this question (before the new board), and did not receive a satisfactory reply before the switchover. Is Shulgin's synthesis the best route to 5meo-Dipt (in terms of chemical availability and yield)? If not, then what would be a better route? The starting material is 5meo-T. Any ideas?

Rhodium:
Another good way is to use the method for DIPT (#4 in Tihkal), but using 5-methoxyindole instead of regular indole in the process. The procedure wouldn't be much different.

kokopelli:
how about using 5-meo-Tryptamine (made from Melatonin),
sodium cyanoborohydride and isopropylbromide in a solution of methanol ????

psyloxy:
wouldn't that be acetone instead of iPrBr ?

Rhodium has a nice text in his archive that details exactly this kind of rxn.
