Abstract

Impurities found in the two principal methods of the manufacture of N-ethyl-1-phenylcyclohexylamine (cyclohexamine, PCE) are identified. Identification of N-ethylcyclohexanecarbonitrile allows the forensic science analyst to determine the specific synthesis route.

Keywords:
toxicology, N-ethyl-1-phenylcyclohexylamine
