Hbr will yield you bromosafrol. Hbr is really nasty stuff and I would strongly recommend that if you don’t really know what you doing, then you shouldn’t fuck with it.
Try telling to the DEA “hey I got less than 2 kg of Isosafrol” and see how that goes for you.

I read a darkweb synth that claims a bromine salt and sulfuric acid will do. Without trying it i kind of dont believe it tho.
Iirc it was sodium bromide and sulfuric acid.

Blue baked ladies were … Quite the night
Those thresholds went away about 1990 …CFR 18 or was it 21…it’s been a while.
Thoughts on this?
Fairly simple cGMP validated method from a non-saffrol precursor.

If it it costs $800/oz is anything worth it to convert? That’s the real question.
This has been posted a few times already.
They swap the blanc chloro/bromomethylation and subsequent reaction with hexamine for forming the alcohol with propylene oxide.
Propylene oxide is annoying to get (plus its acutely toxic, carcinogenic and a lachrymator as well) compared to paraformaldehyde, a bromine salt, sulfuric acid and hexamine. While there is the risk of a bis chloro/bromo methyl ether being formed a drying tube with a cotton saturated with hcl will hydrolyze it, if it were to escape.
I also dont understand the need for enantiopure mdma as i was under the impression both isomers impart something to the effect.

This could easily be interpreted as saying the S isomer alone lacks some of the characteristic experience, though it’s clearly doing the heavy lifting compared to the R isomer (and the R isomer seems perhaps more prone to generate the physical side effects)

Damn. Your friends were defo barking up the wrong tree lool
First of all these were not my friends. I didn’t even know them. Furthermore it is my understanding those guys were extremely violent people and had they actually gone to Phoenix, Sammy would not have had a good day. Personally I think Sammy’s a piece of shit on many levels and these guys from LA were not good people as well.
If you or anyone would like to research this a little deeper, and your friends from outside the country can get their hands on some MDMA… They can easily separate the R and the S with some tartaric acid.
Let us know how it went for your friends from out of the country who tried it out.

I knew an older gentleman who allegedly worked with these guys in my travels - word was they were operating out of Vegas with Henry Hill (no bullshit) in the mix as well helping out.
For those who aren’t as old but might know the movie.
