* From piperonal (with nitromethane) to the nitroethene; (with electrolytic reduction) to MDPEA (Tanaka and Midzuno, 1929).
* From 3,4-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde (with malonic acid) to 3,4-methylenedioxycin­ namic acid; (with Na, Hg) to 3,4-methylenedioxypropionic acid; (with NH3) to 3,4-methyl­ enedioxypropionamide; (with NaOCl) to MDPEA (Slotta and Heller, 1930).
* From 3,4-methylenedioxyhydrocinnamamide (Kindler, 1931).
* From piperonal (with nitromethane) to the nitroethene; (with Pd, H2) to MDPEA (Schales, 1935a; Maurer and Schiedt, 1935).
* Synthesis by catalytic hydrogenation of homopiperonyloximine (Schales 1935b).
* From piperonal (with nitromethane) to the nitroethene; (with LAH) to MDPEA (Erne and Ramirez, 1950; Dallacker et al., 1971).
* From piperonal (with nitromethane) to the nitroethene; (with Raney Ni, or Raney Co, H2) to MDPEA (Reeve and Eareckson, 1950).
* From piperonal (with malonic acid) to 3,4-methylenedioxycinnamic acid; (with Pd, H2) to 3,4-methylenedioxyphenylpropionic acid; (with SOCL2, NH3) to 3,4-methylenedioxyphen­ ylpropionamide; (with aq. KOCI ) to MDPEA (Habermehl and Khalique, 1967).
* Synthesis by reduction of the 2-nitrophenylethane with Fe powder in ethanol in the presence of ammonium chloride (Ran et al., 2000).

Two hundred milligrams of MDMA HCl was dissolved in 2 ml of buffer. Two different buffers, phosphate buffer, pH 7, and carbonate buffer, pH 10, were tested. The suspension was vigorously shaken (25 min) following by the addition of 200 ml of ''n''-heptane, containing diphenylamine as an internal standard, and then again shaken (25 min). The extracts were subjected to GC/MS analysis and impurity profiles were obtained.
