Styrene is, imo the best way forward as a non chemist. One can buy gallons of it super cheaply and it is not suspicious at all.
I don't know exactly the name, but one can use ammonia in solution and elemental sulphur, in an autoclave, instead of an amine like cyclohexylamine with sulphur...
The wilgerodt, on its surface, seems like an easily achievable route to phenylacetic acid. While morphololine is generally hard to come by, cyclohexylamine is likely the next best candidate for the job, as it's not too expensive, available, and unwatched.
My question is, when using an amine...
I have seen on foreign auction sites precursors such as methylenedioxy phenylacetic acid, and methylenedioxy phenylacetonitrile.
I am wondering if anyone has heard of these coming out, that aren't just scams, and whether or not they can be "processed" according to writeups for their "plain"...
