Title: 1-(3,4-Methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-butanone
Post by: xbnmx on January 24, 2004, 09:41:00 PM

I was a little confused by a friend talking about a substance he knew only as 1-(3,4-Methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-butanone.  I sugested that it sound slike it could be MDBD, but it didn't exactly match up, can any of you help m,e identify this substance?

1-(3,4-Methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-butanone is the precursor ketone to MBDB, so you would get MBDB by reductively aminating this ketone with methylamine, as Shulgin does in his synthesis of

Methyl-J (http://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal128.shtml)

(http://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal128.shtml). Methyl-J is an alternative name for MBDB.

It's to MBDB what 1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-propanone (the well known MDP2P) is to MDMA.

Here are the structures:

4-(3,4-Methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-butanone = 3,4-Methylenedioxyphenyl-3-butanone

Molecule: (https://www.the-hive.ws/forum/faq.pl?Cat=#applet)

3,4-MDP-3-Butanone ("CC(=O)CCc2ccc1OCOc1c2")



But it has no significance.
