moved here per PRESERVE. But BURDEN pls don't restore w/out finding reliable secondary sources, checking against them, and citing them.

from "chemistry section" 3,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde is reacted with nitromethane in the presence of ammonium acetate/acetic acid to give the corresponding β-nitrostyrene, which is then reduced with LiAlH₄ to give 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine.

Derivatives

DMPEA is used as a precursor in the synthesis of a plethora of pharmaceutical drugs, including:

Bisobrin, Bometolol, Buquiterine, Denopamine, Dobutamine, Dopamine, Dopexamine, Dramedilol, Drotaverine, Ecastolol, Falipamil, Gallopamil, Methopholine, Mixidine, Mefeclorazine, Nuciferine, papaverine, Tetrabenazine, Tiapamil, trimethoquinol, Veradoline, verapamil.

DMPEA was recently used to prepare Erythrina Alkaloid Analogues as Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Antagonists.^[1]
