4′-Methylpropiophenone bromination to 2-bromo-4'-methylpropiophenone. Large scale.

[Throw-off]

I was sent 2-bromo-4-Methylpropiophenone instead of 4-Methylpropiophenone, would sodium hydroxide reflux eliminate the 2-bromo?

Throw-offyou can immediately obtain the substance you need from alpha-bromo-4-methylpropiophenone, write the CAS number of the substance you received

Won't you receive it in a two step process?

2b4m -> ephadrone -> ephedrine

Throw-offYou need an ordinary propiophenone and then brominate and get alpha-bromopropiophenone, or you use the finished alpha-brophyophenone immediately.
How do you want to remove 4-methyl from MMC, I don't understand)))
