34-(Methylenedioxy)phenyl-1-propanone (MDP1P) is an aromatic ketone structurally related to 34-methylenedioxyphenyl-2-propanone (MDP2P).MDP1P is a common precursor in the synthesis of methylone and various other substituted methylenedioxy- phenethylamine derivatives.Importantly this compound is not made from safrole least not in the most common synthesis that is known.MDP1P is actually made via the action of EtMgBr on piperonylonitrile (aka 13-benzodioxole-5-carbonitrile).Also bear in mind that this is the chemical process that is also used in the manufacture of MDPV although a different choice of alkylating agent and amine are chosen.
