N-cyanomethyl-N-methyl-1-(3',4'-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-propylamine: an MDMA manufacturing by-product.

摘要: :  This paper describes the structural elucidation of a compound produced during synthesis 3,4-methylenedioxymethylamphetamine (MDMA) via reductive amination 3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl-2-propanone (3,4-MDP-2-P) with methylamine and sodium cyanoborohydride. The was isolated from MDMA by column chromatography, proton carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, LC/mass spectrometry, total were used to identify as N-cyanomethyl-N-methyl-1-(3′,4′-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-propylamine. has been identified potential synthetic route marker for 3,4-MDP-2-P cyanoborohydride such it should prove valuable forensic scientists engaged in profiling illicit drugs. Profiling can provide useful information law enforcement agencies relating route, precursor chemicals reagents employed may be comparative analyses different drug seizures. also analogous methylamphetamine compound, N-cyanomethyl-N-methyl-1-phenyl-2-propylamine, phenyl-2-propanone using
