I've never tried NEP, I've not seen it for sale until very recently. I'm actuallyvery interested in trying some. The ssynth on NEP isabout 25-30 reactions. starting from 2b4mp, 2i,4mp the synth for 4-mmc is 4 or so. From metyhpropriophenone it's meh, 6ish If you make your own mrthylamine hcl it's8 I guess. I've never made 3cmc but it's analogous just starting from a different precursors. I hope NEP is my dream drug, I have an opening.
