What is Synthesis of Amphetamine Yielding 30% about?

A one-step synthesis of amphetamine can yield 30% amphetamine by refluxing phenylacetone in ethanol with ammonia, aluminum grit, and mercuric chloride. The experimental procedure involves mixing these reagents and warming until reaction, then refluxing for 2 hours. This yields 12.5 grams of amphetamine sulfate at 96-99.8% purity. Though the yield is lower than a similar pewitin synthesis, this easy one-step method makes it worthwhile.
