   MDMA is usually made from Safrole, PMK or MDP2P. But certain companies exist that sell a perfume chemical called Helional which can easily be converted to MDMA.
   
   

   [FONT=Verdana]Although at least for MOST clandestine and/or hobbyist chemists/biologists peptide synthesis whilst hardly difficult from a technical/procedural POV does fall far outside the realms of what those chemists and their wannabe, cook-book hangers-on[/FONT]
   [FONT=Verdana]just because for say, those used to doing the oximation/beckmann/hoffman degredation on voldemelon, or the usual routes to the essential amphetamines from their corresponding phenylpropenoids derived from the correct plant and/or seed oils is quite different. I doubt totally that I myself would bee incapable of getting my waggledance on and managing linear peptides of modest length given a suitable starting aminoacid, after all most of it is just protect, deprotect, protect, deprotect. Nothing special, just totally outside the sphere of experience of most wasps and many bees.[/FONT]

   The reaction is about as complicated as this..
