The Identification of 2-Chloro-4,5-methylenedioxymethylamphetamine in an Illicit Drug Seizure

CODEN: JFSCAS

Abstract

This work outlines the unequivocal identification of the “ecstasy” analog, 2-chloro-4,5-methylenedioxymethylamphetamine, using combined gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR).

This compound was identified along with 3,4-methylenedioxymethylamphetamine (MDMA) in an illicit tablet seizure, which included 26 off-white tablets.
