A patent application (Publication Number: US20240010628A1) discloses a method for manufacturing R-MDMA and S-MDMA, two enantiomers of the popular recreational drug MDMA. The process involves a series of steps starting from 5-bromobenzodioxole and includes the formation of Grignard reagents, conversion to chirally pure alcohols, protection of amines, reduction steps, and salt formation. The method ensures >99% enantiomeric excess and offers at least a 30% overall yield for both R-MDMA and S-MDMA. Additionally, the process includes steps for converting the amines to salts for purification or storage purposes.
The patent application further details specific compounds used for protecting amines, reducing steps, and the types of salts that can be formed during the process. The method for manufacturing S-MDMA mirrors that of R-MDMA, with slight variations in the starting materials and intermediates. Both processes aim to produce the desired enantiomer in high purity and yield, ensuring the final product meets stringent quality standards. The inclusion of specific compounds and salts in the claims highlights the precision and reproducibility of the method, making it a valuable contribution to the field of drug manufacturing.
