This procedure has been performed in a variety of ways [28 p714, 38-42] with variations in solvent, base and time of reaction. For piperonal conversion, the consensus is toward the use of acetic acid as the solvent, ammonium acetate as the base and 4 hours of reflux time. Dr. Alexander Shulgin, a giant in this field, prefers the use of cyclohexylamine as the base. Strike would not tend to doubt this man s choice, especially since Strike is also getting the...

By the late 1960s, a handful of individual researchers began to synthesize MDMA and to study its psychoactive properties, exploring possible applications for the treatment of mental and emotional disorders. One of the hrst, and probably most famous, of these investigators was Alexander Shulgin, professor of chemistry at San Francisco State University. Shulgin tested the effects of MDMA on himself and later wrote the hrst scholarly paper on the compound and its psychoactive effects, "The psychotomimetic properties of 3,4,5-trimethoxyamphetamine, published in the journal Nature in 1961 (with S. Bunnell and T. Sargent).
