Large-scale PMK/MDP2P synth questions

[IM BATMAN]

so... you say the saponification will be done even when the wax never melts? in solid state?

I think a constant temperature of 70°C to 80°C is better

With a water-solution of alkali, yes. It will take much more time.

Hello William, can this powder be used as is? i can confirm i have this powder but melt point , which is 33-35c, also waxy and sticky. what ratio of alkali to powder do i need to use ? and after the reaction, am i left with mdp2p ? i was told this was originally p2p in which it is not as it was a crystal at room temp, not a pale yellow oil like p2p is, but i also just had pmk glycidate which was a white powder which i added some h20 + EtOh , evap , reflux with h20 + hcl and was left with mdp2p. have since reduced it successfully to mdma. so i am gathering this waxy powder will have the same end result? i am slightly confused,
thanks
