      Idea for MDP2P synthesis  Bookmark   

While reading P2P synthesis from chloroacetone on Rhodium's site I came up with an idea for this synthesis.

1,3-benzodioxole + chloroacetone --> MDP2P

If it works with benzene I think it should work with 1,3-benzodioxole too. The only problem are the yields, which are kinda low with benzene. Any comments or suggestions?

Life without chemistry would be a mistake.

Or yould could also use the Mn(III) catalyzed version, but in both cases you'll also end up with the 2,3-methylenedioxy-P2P.

      2,3-MDP2P separation?  Bookmark   

How can 2,3-MDP2P be separated from 3,4-MDP2P? Would a fractional vacuum distillation work? What is the boiling point of 2,3-MDP2P?

Life without chemistry would be a mistake.

If you read TSII, then you'd know that AlCL3 tears the methylenedioxy ring all to shit.  The 1,3 benzodioxole+chloroacetone synth can never work.
