Here I'll document my Mescaline synthesis from 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde then after I optimize the reaction I'll write the documents.
My goal is to achieve good yield using minimum catalyst and nitromethane.

I have tried to synthesize mescaline from 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde via two different routes. Everything seemed to work well until the last step, yet no desired product was obtained. Does anyone have an idea of what might have gone wrong?
My route was in principle the following:
