SYNTHESIS: A solution of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) in acetic
acid was treated with elemental bromine, generating the hydrobromide
salt of 2-bromo-4,5-methylenedioxyamphetamine in a yield of 61% of
theory. The mp was 221-222 °C. Anal. (C10H13Br2NO2) C,H,Br.
DOSAGE: 350 mg.
DURATION: unknown.
EXTENSIONS AND COMMENTARY: Both the synthetic and the pharmacological
details for this compound are sparse. There has been only a single
report of the human activity of this drug in the literature, and the
statement has been offered that the effects are amphetamine-like. No
other qualitative comments have been made available, and neither I nor
anyone in my circle has tried it, personally. Someday, perhaps. But
at that high level, perhaps not.
