CAN I PRODUCE METH THIS WAY?

We know the phenylalanine molecule and I can easily access it in the country I live in. What I'm wondering is whether it can be produced by chemical reactions. So, when we look at it, it has a chemically similar structure: "Basic skeleton, aromatic ring (phenyl group), functional groups)" like this. I'm asking out of curiosity. Can it be done?

You can convert phenylalanine into Phenylpropanolamine and next reduction:
