Alexander Shulgin who worked for the company Merck constructed a molecule aka MDMA which is the pure form of ecstasy. It originally was prescribed during the mid 1980s but people started to abuse it's purpose so the DEA stopped it. Ecstasy now is usually not pure thus meaning its laced with other drugs.

MDMA was invented by the German chemist Anton Köllisch, who was working for Merck, trying to discover a new drug to combat bleeding disorders. MDMA was later "re-invented" in the 70's by Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin, the godfather of MDMA. Shulgin came up with many new synthesis routes, many of them with improved yields compared to the original synthesis routes.
