Reactivity and Incompatibility: Lithium aluminum hydride reacts violently with water, acids, oxidizers, alcohols, and many oxygenated organic compounds, including, in particular, peroxides, hydroperoxides, and peracids. LAH reacts with many metal halides to produce metal hydride products, which are flammable and toxic.
Just found this somewhere on the web. Glacial_Refluxer: did it react with your ethyl alcohol?

Now N-Protect the L-DOPA and fill in the 3,4-Dihydroxy with a methylene bridge and then do the reduction.
Nice idea about making MDA but can you explain this in more detail? eg. How to replace two hydroxy groups with methylenedioxy ring?

(WizardX: "Hydrogenation/Reduction of Ephedrine.", Stimulants)method of reducing the OH group via esterification with Pd/Barium Sulphate catalyst with some initiator , Perchloric acid, and hydrogenate. How will the product be separated from the BOC, an acid labile group, or will it be precipitated out with the Perchloric acid, when the solution is basified prior to gasing.....javaPost 368128 (missing)
(Rhodium: "Novel CTH reduction of (pseudo)ephedrine to meth", Stimulants) could be applied to this amino alcohol and get the desired results , since it's better and uses water for hydrogenation with Pd.Post 433077 (https://www.thevespiary.org/talk/index.php?topic=9880.msg43307700#msg43307700)
