Butylone can be synthesized in a laboratory via the following route:
3,4-methylenedioxybutyrophenone dissolved in dichloromethane to bromine gives 3′,4′-methylenedioxy-2-bromobutyrophenone.
This product was then dissolved in dichloromethane and added to an aqueous solution of methylamine (40%).
HCl was then added.
The aqueous layer was removed and made alkaline by using sodium bicarbonate.
For the extraction of the amine ether was used.
To get butylone a drop of ether and HCl solution was added.
