The granted patent (Publication Number: US11896670B2) discloses two methods for synthesizing pharmacological compound substances. The first method involves steps such as aldol condensation on 3,4-dibenzyloxybenzaldehyde to obtain 1-(3,4-Dibenzyloxyphenyl)-2-nitropropene, which is further processed to obtain compounds like Boc-L-Lys(Boc)-3,4-dihydroxyamphetamine and L-Lys-(R,S)-MDA or L-Lys-(R,S)-MDMA. The second method includes reducing 1-(3,4-Dibenzyloxyphenyl)-2-nitropropene to 3,4-Dibenzyloxyphenylacetone and applying reductive amination conditions to obtain 3,4-Dibenzyloxymethamphetamine hydrochloride, leading to the synthesis of L-Lys-(R,S)-MDMA.
These methods involve a series of chemical reactions starting from specific compounds to ultimately produce pharmacological substances like MDMA. The processes outlined in the patent provide detailed steps for synthesizing these compounds, including the use of various reagents and reaction conditions. By following these methods, researchers can efficiently produce the desired pharmacological compounds for potential applications in the pharmaceutical industry. The patent aims to protect the novel methods described for synthesizing these substances, highlighting the importance of innovation in drug development and manufacturing processes.
