3,4-Methylenedioxypropiophenone, also known as 3,4-(Methylenedioxy)phenyl-1-propanone (MDP1P), is a phenylpropanoid found in some plants of the genus Piper and is an isomer of 3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl-2-propanone (MDP2P).

Natural occurrence

Studies of various chemotypes of Piper marginatum have either detected this compound to be the dominant constituent of the plant's essential oil or absent from it altogether.^[1]^[2] Of 22 samples collected from South America, specimens from the following regions had the greatest amount of the chemical by dry leaf mass: Manaus (0.35%), Melgaço (0.348%), Belterra (0.33%), Monte Alegre (0.241 to 0.266%), and Alta Floresta (0.123%).^[2]

Uses

MDP1P is a can be used as a precursor in the synthesis of methylone and various other substituted methylenedioxy- phenethylamine derivatives. It can be prepared via a Grignard reaction between ethylmagnesium bromide and piperonylonitrile.

Legal status

United States

MDP1P is not a scheduled drug at the federal level in the United States nor is it on the DEA list of chemicals.^[3]

Florida
