Question Alternatives To Methylamine in Mephedrone Synthesis?

[VamonosPest]

Are there any cheaper or more easily available chemicals to use without sacrificing quality/yield of the final product?

And also can i change the benzene to toluene?

Grateful for any input.

By replacing methylamine you would get an analog . Making methylamine is fairly easy from formaldehyde and ammonium chloride. Yes you can substitute benzene with toluene as it is used just as a solvent for the reaction.

All routes of synthesis mephedrone without methylamine will be more difficult and expensive.

 

[woohoo]

For small batches you can use hexamine (HMTA), look for sciencemadness or rhodium threads about methylamine from this.

What about nitromethane?
