* From piperonal (with nitromethane) to the nitroethylene; (with electrolytic reduction) to MDPEA (Tanaka and Midzuno, 1929).
* From safrole (with aqueous HBr) to 5-(2-bromopropyl)benzo-1,3-dioxole; (with methyl­ amine in EtOH) to MOMA (Merck, 1912; Bineicki and Krajewski, 1960).
* 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-methylenedioxyphenylacetone (aka: piperonylacetone; with methylamine, sodium cyanoborohydride) to MOMA (Braun et al., 1980).
* From 3,4-methylenedioxyhydrocinnamamide (Kindler, 1931).
* From MOA (with formic acid or ethyl formate) to ''N''-formyl-3,4-methylenedioxy­ amphetamine; (with LAH) to MOMA (Shulgin and Shulgin, 1991)
* From piperonal (with nitromethane) to the nitroethylene; (with Pd, H2) to MDPEA (Schales, 1935a; Maurer and Schiedt, 1935).
* From isosafrole (with formic acid, H<sub>2</sub>0<sub>2</sub>) to 3,4-methylenedioxyphenylacetone; (with Al, HgCl<sub>2</sub>, CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>2</sub>) to MOMA (Shulgin and Shulgin, 1991).
* Synthesis by catalytic hydrogenation of homopiperonyloximine (Schales 1935b).
* (For the optical isomers) from piperonylacetone (with ''R''-(-)- (or ''S''-(+)-) &alpha;-methylbenzyl­ amine, Raney Ni) to ''R'',''R''- (or ''S'',''S'') ''N''-&alpha;-methylbenzyl-MOA; (with Pd, H<sub>2</sub>) to ''R''-(-)- (or ''S''-(+)-) MOA; (with methyl formate) to ''R''-(+)- (or ''S''-(-) ''N''-formamido-MOA; (with LAH) to ''R''-(-)­ (or ''S''-(+)-) MOMA (Anderson et al., 1978a).
* From piperonal (with nitromethane) to the nitroethylene; (with LAH) to MDPEA (Erne and Ramirez, 1950; Dallacker et al., 1971).
* From piperonal (with nitromethane) to the nitroethylene; (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-methylenedioxyphen­ylpropionamide; (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).
