    Synthesis notes of Mescaline from 3,4,5-TMBA I update real time as I make a progress

    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. 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde in a bag Experiment 1: 10g of...

    Mescaline synthesis mishaps

    Question 
    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: 1)...
