Afet much reading on this forum, I find myself in a difficult path. Safrole (and iso-s), now beeing a Class I precursor, Cannot be bought in any way (or at least i can't) :( .
So the best way would be to go from the eugenol route?
( https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/methylenation.html (https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/methylenation.html)
)
The methylation itself does not seem to bee any problem, but
the demethylation does
In the refered document, it seems a bit "vague", or perhaps a bit inconclusive, and not that Sassy is dead this is, perhaps, the best way.
In this case, it does noesn't need to be "OTC", since I can buy anything I need save for classi I and 5 class 2 substances (Pyridine, anthranilic acid, acetic anhydride, and two others I can't recall)
(shit why didn't i order 5 Kg of anthranilic acid last month??? ;) )
But beyond that, waht I'm asking is someone can give me some solid help on the Eugenol ---> 4-allylbenzene-1,2-diol ---> Safrole, OR if there is another way (probabbly the one starting from catechol) wich gives better yelds
Many thanks
