MDP2NP2 is 3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-NitroPropane. 3,4-Methylenedioxyphenyl-2-nitropropane can be obtained by reducing 3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-NitroPropene (MDP2NP) with sodium borohydride in ethanol (methanol won't work because then the sodium borohydride will decompose. The MDP2NP2 (3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-NitroPropane) can then be turned into MDP2P (3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Propanone) by the Nef reaction. Then it can turn into MDEA (ecstasy) with ethanol and ethylamine aluminum galinstan amalgam reductive amination. MDP2NP2 can also be directly reduced to MDA with aluminum galinstan amalgam.
