Methcathinone is synthesised most easily by reacting Pseudoephedrine with KMnO4. The reaction is very specific though. A very specific temperature needs to be achieved, below zero, so that the oxidation is subtle and not too energetic, so that it does not destroy the Pseudoephedrine and make it into Benzaldehyde. The same goes for the amount of KMnO4, it has to be a specific ratio of oxidizer to Pseudoephedrine.
