Analytical characterization of four new ortho-methoxybenzylated amphetamine-type designer drugs

In a seizure of German custom authorities four N-(ortho-methoxybenzyl)amines with amphetamine partial structure were obtained as pure compounds: N-(ortho-methoxybenzyl)-3,4-dimethoxyamphetamine (3,4-DMA-NBOMe (1)), N-(ortho-methoxybenzyl)-4-ethylamphetamine (4-EA-NBOMe (2)), N-(ortho-methoxybenzyl)-...

Summary:In a seizure of German custom authorities four N-(ortho-methoxybenzyl)amines with amphetamine partial structure were obtained as pure compounds: N-(ortho-methoxybenzyl)-3,4-dimethoxyamphetamine (3,4-DMA-NBOMe (1)), N-(ortho-methoxybenzyl)-4-ethylamphetamine (4-EA-NBOMe (2)), N-(ortho-methoxybenzyl)-4-methylmethamphetamine (4-MMA-NBOMe (3)), and N-(ortho-methoxybenzyl)-5-(2-aminopropyl)benzofuran (5-APB-NBOMe (4)). The compounds have been detected in Germany for the first time and no analytical data had been previously published. Mass spectrometric (MS), infrared (IR) spectroscopic, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic data are presented. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
