Vanillin to Piperonal

[pandingo]

What is the best and easiest way to do this with relatively high yields?

For that sort of chemistry you are probably better off looking at a specialist site like this

[amirhomayoun]

you can do it by AlCl₃ .

[Fuzzwood]

Or turn yourself in at the nearest authroities. This is kinda step one of making MDMA...

[amirhomayoun]

You sure that's ecstasy?I mean MDMA is ecstasy right?that's not ecstasy.It's heliotropin.It's some sort of flavor.

[pandingo]

yes that is correct, it's heliotropin, a flavor additive with a distinct black "pepperesque" flavor. its the natural proponent of black pepper.

 

That does show me methods but i believe that there is a better way then a of the discussed methods on that site. plus I'm not to keen on relying on a drug forum for my chemistry questions.

Yeah that was kind of my point there. Jumped the gun there a bit, sorry

If you set aside objections based on the morality of their intent, the science is generally quite good there.

(other "similar" sites don't enjoy such a good reputation)
