Synthesis of Dextroamphetamine Sulfate and Methamphetamine Hydrochloride from D-Phenylalanine

[Leland]

I found this synthesis https://www.erowid.org/archive/rhodium/chemistry/amph.phenylalanine.html

In particular, I am interested in synthesizing Dextroamphetamine and this seems like a pretty easy.

What do you think is it good for my first synthesis, or should I use something else like this post? /en/threads/one-step-dextroamphetamine-synthesis.11133/

Hi this is absolutely not how you want to start practical chemistry since it's obvious to me that the procedures are super dangerous and the whole thing will be frustrating.

@HerrHaber Thanks, you saved me some trouble thanks for responding to my beginner question.
