PODCAST 22: Studying chemistry in prison

This is an interview with an MDMA chemist who was sentenced to ten years in prison and used his time behind bars to improve his understanding of chemistry and improve syntheses related to the one that allowed law enforcement to take his freedom. Tomorrow I will also post a video of my interview with Ed Domino.

They mentioned ammonium acetate there as well

It's sad that this guy has so much passion about the trade, but at the same time got so traumatized by his negative experience with LE, that he doesn't want to have nothing to do with it (at least on record lol). It really hurt when he completely blocked himself to the perspectives of having a legit income from his knowledge and passion; and changed topics or purposefully undervalued the opportunities that were repeatedly thrown at him by Hamilton (I suspect that on purpose :)).

How does he get nitrostyrene out of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde + NaOH + MeOH. No nitrogen in those reagents? Is there an implied nitrogen containing reagent? Start around 35 minutes into the podcast.
