Chemistry
Alkyl nitrites can be synthesized from primary alcohols according to the following reaction process:
R-O2H + NaNO2 + H2SO4 R-ONO + NaHSO4 + H2O
It has been reported (US Patent 4,638,094) that alkyl nitrites are also a precursor for MDP2P, a phenylacetone used in the production of MDMA, more commonly known as "ecstasy."
The basic reaction process is shown below:
MeONO in corresponding alcohol + safrole + PdCl2 [+ CuCl2 or amine] MDP2P
