Cathinone (/ ˈ k æ θ ɪ n oʊ n /; also known as benzoylethanamine, or β-keto-amphetamine) is a monoamine alkaloid found in the shrub Catha edulis and is chemically similar to ephedrine, cathine, methcathinone and other amphetamines.
Bath salts usually contain cathinones, typically methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV, also known as "monkey dust", although this term can refer to MDPHP as well [8]), methylone or mephedrone; however, the chemical composition varies widely [6] [9] and products labeled with the same name may also contain derivatives of pyrovalerone or pipradrol.
Substituted cathinones, or simply cathinones, which include some stimulants and entactogens, are derivatives of cathinone. They feature a phenethylamine core with an alkyl group attached to the alpha carbon , and a ketone group attached to the beta carbon , along with additional substitutions .
Aug. 14—A Glynn County Sheriff K9 helped deputies arrest two men last week for allegedly trafficking the drug known as bath salts. A release from the sheriff's office said deputies received ...
α-Pyrrolidinopentiophenone (α-PVP), also known as α-pyrrolidinovalerophenone, O-2387, β-keto-prolintane, prolintanone, [2] [3] or desmethylpyrovalerone, is a synthetic stimulant of the cathinone class developed in the 1960s that has been sold as a designer drug and often consumed for recreational reasons.
Cathinones, including 3-CMC, can be synthesized via various routes. The simplest approach of the synthesis of ring-substituted cathinones is a 2-step bromination-animation reaction. The first step is to produce 2-bromo-3-chloropropiophenone by the bromination of 3-chloro-propiophenone at the alpha-position under acidic or basic conditions.
N-Ethylpentylone (β-keto-ethylbenzodioxolylpentanamine, βk-ethyl-K, βk-EBDP, ephylone) is a substituted cathinone and stimulant drug which was developed in the 1960s. [2] [3]
3-Methylmethcathinone's IUPAC name is 2-(methylamino)-1-(3-methylphenyl)propan-1-one). It is one of many synthetic cathinones, designer drugs related to amphetamines. It is a structural isomer of mephedrone, and controlled as such. It can also be seen as the β-keto analog of 3-methylmethamphetamine. 3-MMC contains a chiral center at the C-2 ...
