Can anybody direct me to a methylone synthesis, I have searched and can find a decent amount of info but no synthesis.
Since methylone is a N-methyl cathinone all you need to look for is cathinone synthesis and particulary N-methyl cathinone synthesis. Then just swap propiophenone for 3,4-methylenedioxypropiophenone or 3,4-dihydroxypropiophenone if you want to methylate it yourself.

Hmm thanks once again guys. Hate to be a pain in the ass, I swear I utfse and I come up empty handed sometimes:( perhaps I need more patience.
