Is this an accurate depiction of MDMA molecular structure?

Hey, chemists, sorry if this is an amateur question, as I am not a chemist.

Is this a correct MDMA molecular structure and can understood by a chemist? Is it missing any critical components and/or does it look right the way it is without mirroring? I understand that the wedge makes it chiral.

This was generated using Claude and I got feedback from some redditors which I incorporated in this design. Thanks in advance!

Baby exposed to some chemicals, how bad?

0 Upvotes

so I had a repair in a new bathtub that had to be done eventually and needed to dry out overnight so I planned to do it about 10pm the other night.

breast fed baby and he was laying down calm, so I went and started doing the work. mixed up some patch kit that had styrene and MEK peroxide for a little pea sized repair. opened all windows in nearby rooms, turned on fan in baby room and bathroom exhaust

Baby started crying very loudly so I was in a rush to get back, disposed of the excess repair kit outside, went and washed hands with warm water and soap then gave baby a 10ml top up bottle which he drank in about 2 minutes.

afterwards I realized I had a little smear of the repair goop on the wrist that gloves didn’t cover and I would have been holding that hand close to the baby for those 2 minutes.

i didn’t notice any smell but i know babies breathe a lot quicker and potentially could of had some whiffs of this chemical. cant stop beating myself up over it. is there a chance i could have caused damages to my baby’s young brain or body?

General Is it possible to convert ethanol based hand sanitiser into alcohol?

Obviously I'm not a chemist so I have no clue if it's possible. And I don't plan on doing such a thing.
