3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Propanone

3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Propanone (MDP2P) is a yellow chemical that has a melting point of 87-88 °C and a Boiling point range of 115-170 °C at around 30 mmhg. MDP2P can be synthesized by oxidation of MDP2Pol (3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Propanol) using either sodium chlorite or sodium hypochlorite in hydrochloric acid and a byproduct is chlorine gas (if hydrochloric acid isn't used, then you will get the haloform reaction). MDP2P can also be synthesized by a grignard reaction of 3,4-MethyleneDioxyBenzyl magnesium chloride (formed from 3,4-Methylenedioxybenzyl chloride and magnesium turnings in diethyl ether) and acetonitrile followed by hydrochloric acid work-up. MDP2P can also be synthesized from wacker oxidation of safrole. Reaction of MDP2P with an ethanol solution of ethylamine and Aluminum Galinstan amalgam reduces the MDP2P-ethylimine intermediate into MDEA. 3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Propanone is a yellow oily ketone. It is yellow green in the sunlight. MDP2P can also be synthesized by reacting sesamyl tosylate (SmOTs,3,4-Methylenedioxyphenyl tosylate) with ethyl acetoacetate and sodium ethoxide and Copper iodide catalyst and heat. 3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Propanone is also called Sesamyl-2-Propanone (Se2P, Ses2P, Sm2P), Sesamylacetone, and Piperonyl Methyl Ketone.

I synthesized 3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Propanone (MDP2P) by reacting 3,4-MethyleneDioxyBenzyl magnesium chloride and acetonitrile followed by hydrochloric acid work-up.

3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Propanol 

3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Propanol (MDP2Pol) is a chemical with a boiling point of 125°C at 25mmHg. MDP2Pol is a yellowish oil which is an alcohol. It is formed from dilute phosphoric acid hydration of safrole (sulfuric acid isn't used because sulfuric acid is an oxidizing acid which rearranges MDP2Pol (3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Propanol) to MDP1Pol (3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-1-Propanol). MDP2Pol is also formed by oxymercuration demercuration of safrole. MDP2Pol can be oxidized to MDP2P (3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Propanone) by either sodium chlorite or sodium hypochlorite in hydrochloric acid and the byproduct is chlorine gas (wear a gas mask and do the reaction outside). It can also be oxidized by lead acetate. 3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Propanol is also called Sesamyl-2-Propanol (Se2Pol, Ses2Pol, Sm2Pol), hydroxysafrole, and Sesamylisopropanol.

I formed 3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Propanol by hydrating safrole with an aqueous dilute solution of phosphoric acid.
