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.

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.

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.

Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
