MDAI with Ethcat, not sure if it would be ideal, since ethcat is (rather) selective for NE, with relatively little DA effects. I think you'd get more MDMA-mimetic effect with a more balanced stimulant. I speak from absolutely no personal experience though (MDAI + Stim is on the menu for the weekend)
Naw, many undesirable side-products of reactions are brown and gooey. It's the most common by far. Structure is not similar, so you wouldn't get the same compound.
hmmm, I was recently reading about some problems with 4-xx-DET turning black & gooey. The pictures of the 4-aco-DET before look a similar brown color to the MDAI that's been floating around of late, and the 4-aco-DET i have currently is completely white.... Makes me wonder as to the possibility of a common impurity in these. Anyone with more knowledge about the synthesis of these care to weigh in?
