De efedrona a mefedrona

[Anarchy Labz]

¿Es posible convertir la efedrona en mefedrona?

 

[PavelD]

en primer lugar hay que encontrar reactivos quimicos que son dificiles de encontrar . el nombre es M , solo hay que añadir M a la efedrona y al final se obtiene la meohedrona lol

Es posible: Sí
¿Merece la pena? En absoluto.
Los agentes de metilación son, por lo general, cosas desagradables por sí solas, razón suficiente.

Methcathinone can be methylated using Methyl Iodide and Aluminum Chloride AlCl3 to get 3-MMC (3-Methylmethcathinone). The ketone part of the Methcathinone means no 2 or 4 substitution, but it directs it to the 3 substitution.

The question was different. To insert the methyl into an aromatic ring. It seems that there are methods to benzene halogenation, but I don't think that this is needed for someone.

I thought Ephedrone was Methcathinone (MC). It can be Methylated to 3-MMC, but not 4-MMC or 2-MMC.

How?

I've heard that methyl iodide can be used to synthesize 3-MMC from methcathinone. Is this accurate? I also came across claims that formaldehyde and formic acid can be used for the same purpose, but I’m skeptical. From what I understand, formaldehyde and formic acid are typically used to add a methyl group to the amine portion of a molecule, such as in the synthesis of methamphetamine from amphetamine or MDMA from MDA. However, they wouldn’t be able to methylate the aromatic ring, correct?
