Phenethylamines, brominated

Kennedy and Stock reported the first use of Oxone for many common oxidation reactions such as formation of benzoic acid from toluene and of benzaldehyde, of ben-zophenone from diphenyhnethane, of frawi-cyclohexanediol Ifom cyclohexene, of acetone from 2-propanol, of hydroquinone from phenol, of e-caprolactone from cyclohexanone, of pyrocatechol from salicylaldehyde, of p-dinitrosobenzene from p-phenylenediamine, of phenylacetic acid from 2-phenethylamine, of dodecylsulfonic acid from dodecyl mercaptan, of diphenyl sulfone from diphenyl sulfide, of triphenylphosphine oxide from triphenylphosphine, of iodoxy benzene from iodobenzene, of benzyl chloride from toluene using NaCl and Oxone and bromination of 2-octene using KBr and Oxone . Thus, they... 

Ibrahim 407) has reported a microbial transformation of emetine (1) into O-methylpsychotrine (4), which used Cunninghamella blakesleeana MR-198. The first synthesis of the alkaloid glucoside neoalangiside (48) has been achieved with the Aimi et al. 408). It started with the condensation of the brominated phenethylamine 196 with the tetra-O-acetyl derivative of secologanin (132) and proceeded through the intermediates 197 and 198. 

Thus, they are kind of a dead end, at least as far as the 2C-X series is considered. The heaviest, iodine, was explored as the phen-ethylamine, as 2C-I, and as the amphetamine as DOI. These are the most potent. The next lighter is bromine, where the phenethylamine is 2C-B and the amphetamine is DOB. These two are a bit less potent, and are by far the most broadly explored of all the halides. Here, in the above recipe, we have the chlorine counterpart,...
