Whats the best synth for a) best yield b) best quality and c) easiest d) cheapest?
Any ideas?
I'm not saying one synth that does all this, but maybe 4 different ones...

I am not sure about the best yeilds or any of that but from what I have seen the Madchemist synths sure seem to be the easiest to understand. He goes out of his way to explain exactly how to do everything. It seems to be one of the least expensive ways that I have seen also.

Well, the highest yeilding method would probably be a sodium borohydride reduction. But, I think a reduction with nitromethane and MD-P2P with aluminum amalgum would be best bang for your buck. Yeilds are still in the 80's. I'll have to post my way of making MD-P2P without a pesky peracetic oxidation or something. It uses the dichloro derivative of isosafrole, and is easy and cheap. Let me do a write up, then I'll get back to you.
