Since safrole is hard to get, I'm going to try to synthesize it. I have read that synth on Rhodium's site written by Psycho Chemist. Has anyone ever tried this synth? Any comments, suggestions and experiences are appreciated.

I se no flaws at all with that synth, and Psycho Chemist's writeups has always been of very high quality.

I understand that. But it just seemed a little bit too complicated for use outside special laboratory. It requires some special chemicals.
Why R.I.P.? Is he dead or got busted?

He is unfortunately dead. One day I just recieved a reply from his university department in Germany that he unfortunately could not reply himself, because he was deceased. It happened very suddenly (he was alive and well a few weeks earlier, so it must have been an accident or acute illness of some sort).

Which way? There's the piperonyl chloride-Piperonal-Isosafrole or the 4-bromo 1,2 methylenedioxybenzene-safrole route. One maybe longer than the other but more OTC.
Maybe take a walk on the riskay side with a bit of Piperonyl magnesium chloride reacted with methylamine/acetaldehyde imine. I see no reason why it should only work for meth and not for MDMA.
I'm sorry to hear about Psycho may his work continue to inspire.
