Question How to purify 4-MMC

[Neozion420]

I’m looking to make 4-mmc but I want it to be as pure as possible so once I make my 4-MMC that will surely have impurities how would I go about purifying and or recrystallizing it. I wouldn’t want to take or sell anything that isn’t top quality just to be safe. Thank you.

Wash it with aceton and recystallize

What would be the most effective technique to do that? I've seen videos where acetone was poured over powder/crystal on Buchner filter and immediately filtered away. I've also seen someone in a discussion suggest to stir 4-MMC powder with acetone in a jar/beaker to better dissolve impurities before the filtration. Would shaking the powder with acetone in a closed jar be the best way as the most aggressive form of stirring?

In the Buchner filter should I pour in the acetone and stir it around to help dissolve impurities before each vacuum? Also should the acetone be cold if so how cold freezer or fridge cold? Thank you

I also plan to do a recrystallization after all this just to have the most pure product possible but I want to get most impurities out before this just to be safe.
